Yay! We got our juniors back!!!

BoC!! Great work for a 17-6 win!
Good job ladies sticking it out on iron women. It's definitely good news coming home to an email about getting our junior girls back. We should have @ least 2 lines of girls next week!! WOHOOO!!! For the most part, we're slowly getting a hang of each other and we were able to work off of that last night.

What we worked on:

Horizontal (HO) Stack

This worked when we recognized what our team mates were doing. Partners working the lanes cutting in opposite directions etc. There were a few times where partners were cutting each other off but that was corrected and it was great.

Transitioning to Vertical Stack

Last night we transitioned well from defense to offense quickly and setting up the horizontal stack. That same note, it was awesome to see us move from a horizontal stack, play man defense on a turn, and reset a vertical stack on a turn.

End zone and setting up Sub Zero In general we seem to forget what to do when we get into the end zone. Let's set this as our default end zone play. It worked last night and it gave us options. We'll refine it as the season progress. Otherwise, it was a good first trial.

Setting a zone offense

Our Iso-German play was awesome. Great cuts Les, and good movement ladies. We'll use this in the future to help us unclog the field and free up some green space.

Punishing the poaches

All I gotta say is Rhea skying the dude in the end zone. That was soooo pretty...and I'm sure we lost some spirit points laughing at the dude but it was just too sweet not to laugh :)

Straight up mark...

This worked for us last night, but it needs to be refined. The key to this mark is to prevent the hucks. Though some of the hucks that were let out were wonky, there were a few that got down the field.

...and preventing the in cuts

With a straight up mark, the in cuts are the biggest threat. We have to make sure we are covering the in's. That means covering ALL inside cuts; both home and away side. This will be reviewed for our next game.

Overall, good work everyone!!
