Senior Profile Steven Bloedel

Steven is a 4 year letterman for us. He was an outstanding Kicker for us twice earning All- Area honors. Steven Started at Defensive End his Junior and Senior Years. He is a very gifted athlete and excellent Kicker. His best kicking performance as Lion came against Laurence Manning in 2008 with 2 FG's and an extra point in a 13-7 Win.

What I will always remember about Steven is his athleticism and his ability to make plays on Friday. He played a Key Role in our Success the past 4 years.....Thanks Steven!

News from Nashville

The American Football Coaches Association is holding its Convention in Nashville this week. I have been blessed greatly to have had the opportunity to see, hear and meet so many great Coaches. On Sunday I attended a Worship service hosted by the Fellowship of Christian athletes and heard Les Steckel and others share. Monday Evening I listened to The Special Teams coach from Kentucky State and the Quarterback Coach from the University of Houston. Monday I attended the HS Coaches Clinic and Heard Head Coaches from a Cleveland Area, Maryville, Tenn, and St Thomas Aquanas. Later that day Mike Leach (Texas Tech), Bob Stoops (Oklahoma) spoke on their Philosophy. The Greates Treat was a session moderated by Grant Teaff (former Baylor Coach) which had Joe Paterno and Tom Osborne discuss issues from their Career. The evening conctluded with buzz sessions from Mike Sewak (GT) on the Option scheme and Chris Hatcher (Georgia Southern) on Quarterback play. The last event of the day was an FCA even featuring Frosty Westerly.
