Tailgate Party

The start of school brings us closer to the fall sports seasons. Practices are well underway, and the kids are working hard. it's time to invite everyone to the county wide tailgate party at the Courthouse lawn this Friday, August 28 from 5:30-7 pm. Students in Jersey's eat free, Parents in School colors eat for $1, and everyone else for $2. the booster Club will also be selling memberships. See you Friday!

Back in Manhattan

Ian finally got some time Sunday morning to give us the inside on the start of fall camp for the KSU Wildcats...

We moved into the dorms on Wednesday and had our conditioning test on Thursday. For the conditioning test we had to run two 300 yard shuttles (which are 60 yards, down and back 5 times) in an average time of 46 seconds with only a minute and a half in between each one. Not trying to boast, but I had the third fastest defensive backs time out of 14 guys.haha. We have had only 3 practices so far but according to coach Snyder, we have improved each day. Yesterday was pretty rough considering we practiced from 4-7 with a heat index of 105 degrees, and "Be Tough" is one of our 16 goals for success, and I think its safe to say we displayed that. lol. But if you have any questions, just send me back a message and I'll answer back as soon as I can.

So what say you? Any questions you'd like to hear of from the "inside?"

A word from Ian Peters

Big news from former Pike Valley Panther Ian Peters. He's been invited to K State's Fall Camp, of which teams can only bring 105 players. 85 of those are on scholarship, so Ian's got his work cut out for him. Here's the message I got...

Hey man. I found out last Wednesday that I am going to fall camp. We check in tomorrow August 5th. I have no idea whats in store, lol. Im pumped that I get to go though, considering they don't take everyone. Im not sure how long that excitement will last, because from what I hear its 2 and a half weeks of absolute hell. But I suppose that's the price you pay if you want to reach the high mark coach Snyder sets for us. I'll try to keep you posted as often as possible, but i really don't know how much free time i'll have. They said last year it was EVERY day, even saturdays and sundays, all day long. But if nothing else i'll get you informed once were done on the 22nd.

I can't claim to be a Cat by any means, but i find the walk on story a great one every time. Go Ian!!!
