Holy smokes! Wishing a very happy retirement to the great Rick Rizzs!

With so many legendary calls for the @Mariners, our favorite is this unforgettable call from the 1997 Apple Cup.

Thanks, Rick, for all the incredible memories!

@RobbAkey Always. And it always makes me think of that first Saturday game at Martin Stadium, and that picture of you with your fist in the air as Dave Minnich ran out on the field with the flag in his hands. 🫡

@Warhogs56 @TBlazer5AS1 Beautiful. I’d expect nothing less from you. 🫡

Never forget what they took from us

[Coach Don Bartel @CoachDBartel]

@RyanHawk12 Wow. . .so good

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Parents overcoaching is one of the biggest contributors to fear of failure. @landondonovan is right.

Kobe Bryant said the same, "Don't say anything. There's a conversation happening inside her head. An outside voice interrupts her process. Let her figure it out herself."

[Todd Milles @ManyHatsMilles]

Don't make guarantees often.

But will here - 'Gridiron Camp' has single-best scrimmaging idea I've seen.

Would be wildly popular at any summer football camp.

In one of the coolest aspects of any football camp I have been to (and will write about Monday at @varsitywanews) is Gridiron Camp’s “Ludus” competition.

One play from the opponents’ 5, gladiator-style.

And Mount Si “D” beat Bothell “O” in finals Sunday to win title at PLU.

The great @masonkelley12 stopped by practice to chop it up with our LB crew! Gotta love the work he’s doing!! https://t.co/6BZuh9kE8m

@JoshChambers @RyanHawk12 Already listened to the first one 3 times—give us Ep. 2!!!!

Please and thank you, @RyanHawk12

[Coach Don Bartel @CoachDBartel]

@JoshChambers @RyanHawk12 This was an incredible episode

[Coach Don Bartel @CoachDBartel]

Thank you @WSFCA1 for the opportunity!!! I got some good stuff sitting with these men yesterday—hoping I was even just a little helpful for the coaches in our sessions. #PayingItForward

[WSFCA @WSFCA1]

WSFCA Mentor Coaches Don Bartel (Mount Si), Adam Fisher (EV Spokane) and Cody Lamb (La Salle) shared decades of experience & wisdom with 50+ new/aspiring HC’s today.

HS FB Coaches helping HS FB Coaches! Thank You Coach!

Just 57% of football portal entries found a home last year and the numbers get worse outside of d1.

In d3 only 21% of portal entries found a home!!

[Dan Masters @DanJMasters]

I will die on this hill. I will argue till I’m blue in the face. I will produce the data.

Participation in youth sports/activities is as important as many of the classes my kids take at school. Maybe more important.

[Coach Don Bartel @CoachDBartel]

@timkettenring Mike Clark knows what he’s doing. . .

[WSFCA @WSFCA1]

If Someone wants to charge you $$$ to help with recruiting…7v7 or 5v5, “exposure” or “training”….run away, straight to your HS Coach

He does all of that for free. He will send your tape and tell you the TRUTH, because he’s not trying to make money off you or your family!

this is what some of these WR trainers have the kids looking like off the line of scrimmage
