DLS destoys Folsom.It seems I have seen this exact game about 50 times over the years minus all the penalties which were unlike DLS.I watched the game from a different viewpoint this time and it was clear to me that DLS was quicker,stronger,faster and looked far superior physically and talent wise.This was definitely not a case of a team overcoming superior physicality and talent but the opposite.Great win and every time I see that record 397-25 I can hardly believe it.Amazing.Lad has more NCS titles than losses!It appears to me that their QB, running backs and receivers are a notch below their normthis year.

Somehow I think that young Mckenzie will pass the entrance exam…..he’s probably smart as heck anyway.
Btw there is also anther Mckenzie that is 12. He is a great athlete who just so happens to be about 6’0″ 230 as a 12…..really don’t think he’ll be enrolling at Alameda, do you?

Wow just when I thought it was safe to read the blogs again! chalk are you a coach or personal trainer? Would love to see your program. One side note, Bruce Lee was the best what ? Actor, dancer,or teacher or fighter, please clairify. Good luck to DLS tonight.

@ #98 Renegades10….Work at the DLS games and had a chance to have a short conversation with Mr McKenzie at the Monte Vista game. When asked about his son’s intentions his response was that he would love to have his family together here and said it would depend on how the test went(he did not elaborate). One interesting note about Mr McKenzie was that he got pretty emotional about the game….said some of the most special memories for him was when he, himself played high school football.

Prep, all the other stuff aside, McKenzie Sr. has been seen at several DLS home games this year so I’m assuming yes it’s still the plan that he is applying to DLS.

Junior…I agree the lower the level the more influence a coach has.
I believe that there s probably is not a coach in the country who could have matched what DLS has done over the many years.That being said,the one thing that bugs me about DLS is the time that is demanded and all the rules that are rationalized away.
The last year I coached hoops I was told by my AD that I was not allowed to have any contact with my players until baseball season was over.In open gym,in the times they were permitted, I was not allowed to work with more than one player at a time.
I would love to see how different DLS’s football and basketball teams would execute under those conditions.If I tried in anyway to discourage a student from playing another sport because it interfered with hoops because of seasons overlapping,I would be in serious trouble.Try even missing a summer league basketball game at DLS because you want to play Legion baseball….it will not happen.
That is my one and only knock on DLS.They have always demanded so much time and obliterated any concept of NCS rules regarding practice,even if by some technicality they can rationalize getting around the rules.I ,of course am very familiar with the hoops side,and I am speculating about the football side.I do know that god could not get a team to execute like DLS football does putting in only the hours allowed by historical NCS rules.Although I do know that football is allowed spring practice and maybe that does provide enough time but I doubt it.

Is Mckenzie’s son playing at DLS next season? I haven’t heard anything recently. Not coming from a Catholic school currently, it would seem to be nearly impossible if you take into account the DLS entrance requirements you read about on these blogs. If so, he can join Larry Allen’s son in the trenches. 2 skinny, slow scared kids that will be molded into greatness. If not, they should still be able to find enough guys to field a competitive team.

Candy, Did you take the DLS entrance exam? Have your kids taken it? Relatives taken it? No rumors or others- personal experiences. I suggest it’s a lot more to get into DLS than x’s and O’s. Are you the expert?

Hoops
lets take the concept 4 points of pressure
THE CONCEPT IS ON HOW NOT TO FUMBLE THE BALL —GREAT–

but not fumbling the ball doesn’t make u run faster
doesn’t make u more elusive

doesn’t make u balanced

may prevent u from protecting yourself

u cant switch hands

causes u to take more blows

NO GREAT RUNNER WOULD EVER USE 4 POINTS OF PRESSURE

unless ur just a power back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
