every single moment that you’ve come through,

no one else can sing your song, no one else
can write your story. Who you are, what you do,
begins right now!”

“Do three things every day. Number one is laugh. Number two is think. You should spend some time in thought. And number three is, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy. But think about it. If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that’s a full day. You do that seven days a week, you’re going to have something special.”

Golden Tate broad jump 10 ft @ NFL Combine reminds me of when i saw Wisc Badger Louis Nzegwu do it as a prep @ Midwest High School Combine
39 years old and I just tried my first ever Shamrock shake
Are prep football combines worth the effort?
With registration for the 2010 Midwest High School Combine now open we thought we’d tackle the issue of the importance of prep combines. Are they are worth the time, money and effort? Combines are a rather new idea, but they have already proven they can cut countless hours for schools and, in many cases, players. With the news of constant cut backs in university budgets, the athletic...
Rohr talks Gopher offer
Tight end Sam Rohr, a 2011 prospect from Brookfield Central received a Big Ten offer earlier this month, his first. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound prospect participated in the US Army Combine last month and has seen his interest increase. “When I returned home from the U.S. Army Combine in San Antonio, TX a letter arrived a few days later inviting me to Minnesota’s junior day; it was January...
Waynes snags first offer
Just a few short days ago we featured Kenosha Bradford safety Trae Waynes (6-foot-0, 170) and informed you of his eye popping 40 run at the NUC combine and how his recruiting interest has exploded. On Monday that interest turned into his first offer.
“I received my first offer last night from North Dakota State,” explained a very happy Waynes. He is the fifth player in the class of...
Arrowhead Big Man getting big time looks
Among the biggest stars at Arrowhead, literally and figuratively, is Jacob Lindenberg. Lindenberg has one more year of high school ball to play, yet it’s probably a safe bet that he’s bigger than you.
Standing 6’7 and weighing 320 pounds, his size alone is enough reason for colleges to notice him. Scouts who usually visit Arrowhead anyway are getting a great look at him....
Recruit Profile: Joel Stave, QB
You know you’re doing well when the referees are telling you so.
Whitnall’s Joel Stave experienced this as a freshman. “A couple of the referees who have seen a lot of kids play told me that I should really get to some camps and said I could really throw the ball.”
As a Junior, Stave helped lead Whitnall to a 7-2 record overall, which was good enough to get them into the...
Recruit Profile: Trae Waynes
A player like the NFL’s Brian Dawkins is tough to come by. Kenosha Bradford has lucked out with one of their star players, Trae Waynes.
The Junior Safety was one of many players who performed well this past year. Although Bradford’s drive to State was cut short by eventual champion Marquette, they have a lot to look forward to.
The Red Devils’ Safety moves quickly and carries...
