Don't know much about the kid from KC , but I will tell you this we just got two of the most explosive players to come out of Saint Louis in the last 10-15 years! Instant impact guys! Feels good to be a Mizzou fan today baby!!!
If he's not on your Top 5 STL QB's of all time your gotta be under 35 or not from STL. Do your research on this team. What they did will never be done again. 30 man roster, beat a team with over 100 kids to win state. They only played 20. Class 5 when it was real smoke. RIPDNash

Good morning!! This weekend I had the pleasure of attending an amazing event called Dads, Dudes, and Donuts!! We talked about mental health, financial literacy, and leadership just to name a few. The information provided was second to none. What a wonderful event!!
It kills me we are in a generation where kids care more about their personal stats then the team! There are kids out here with numerous offers, some even committed still worried about βMEβ!! My son will never be allowed to grow up with that βME mentally!!! WE not ME!!!
Thank you God! I've now coached 20 college graduates and counting! Free education is the destination, football is just the vehicle we use to get them there. Anything after that is a bonus. This is what it is all about! Graduation pics going up in the man cave. This the real NFL!!
Some of you grown men kill me coming on social media attacking kids!! Let me guess you was a scrub then and you a scrub now!! Donβt get mad at these kids because your life is in shambles!! Man up and look in the mirror!!
Momma we gone make sure he lives on through all these kids!! Every kid who comes up will know who J was!!! As a coach, as a father, and a mentor this broke me. Iβve been off social media because I wasnβt ready to accept this. Tears wonβt stop!!π€¦πΎββοΈπ€¦πΎββοΈπ‘π₯π₯π
"My baby taught me to live."
14-year-old football phenom Jaylon McKenzie was shot and killed on Saturday night. Today one of our crews talked to his mom, and as they filmed, the TV in the background tuned to ESPN ran a story on his passing. Chills.
It is with great pleasure to announce

Always finish what you started! Mission accomplished!! MBA up next, why stop now? The marathon continues! Huge shoutout to my brother from another
@CoachReedLive
for pushing me to get this done!
@CoachBortle
forever grateful my guy!! ππΎππΎ
As a coach it is our job to be completely honest and transparent with our kids. I see coaching everyday selling D1 dreams to a kid whom he's knows will never play on that level. We don't sell dreams coaches we sell reality. Always keep it π― even when it hurts!!
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I have to remain in STL. I want to thank my brother/mentor for providing with an outstanding opportunity!! Itβs go time!! ππΎππΎπ―
I would like to introduce
@CoachShannn
to Lutheran North as our Wide Receivers Coach. Chris is the former OC at Hazelwood West and Trinity. Helping Trinity to a state championship in 2018. I look forward to welcoming him and his family to Crusader Nation. Keep Working.
Hazelwood West and Garden City finest!! Itβs about to go down!! Canβt wait to see our guy go to work!! ππΎππΎπ―
@CoachJSims
@HagerNation
I donβt get involved in my players recruiting process unless the ask me for advice! Too many guys in the game worried about offers instead of developing young men! I develop players that earn offers not the other way around!
I've made through the first round of interviews. Second interview tomorrow morning at 10 am. Fourth quarter 1:30 on the clock, time to seal the deal. ππΎππΎπ€πΎπ€πΎ
New job, new role, back to my roots coaching wide receivers!! Techinque and fundamentals baby, talent will only get your so far! Extremely excited about this group!!! Stay tuned!! ππΎππΎπ
This is what itβs all about. βIM GOING TO THE GAME?β gets me every time. You did this

Last night was an amazing atmosphere! We didnβt get the result we wanted to but thatβs life sometimes you win some time you lose!! All our goals are still within reach!! Stay the course!
Thank you God for putting the game back in my life!! After I was done playing I battled depression off and on for years! Football was there for me when nothing or no one else was!! Coaching brought my love back, my life and career has elevated to another level!! Thankful!! ππΎππΎ

Didnβt appreciate offensive line play until I became a coach! I take my hat off to all offensive line coaches!! Getting five guys to all move accordingly is not as easy as it may seem!! If you havenβt told your offensive coach how much you appreciate him pleas do!!
Ain't no beef in coaching, stop all the lil kid stuff!! Everybody elevating and kids getting more and more opportunities! We must not let this Saint Louis mentally kill the great energy and opportunities this games provides. All the sub tweets grow up man!!π€¦πΎββοΈπ€¦πΎββοΈππ
@uheardof5
wasnβt able to practice today. Instead of standing around goofing off he helped coach up the young guys during install and 7on7! I sat back and watched how detailed and extremely encouraging he was! Hats off to

Congratulations to my high school head coach and OC. I met this man at the tender age of 15. Little did I know he was grooming me to be a coach!! He has always been there for me even at my lowest! Thank you to Mrs.P and the girls for sharing him with us all these years!!
Congratulations to Coach Pukala on being named to the 2023 St. Louis Metro Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame Class! A well deserved honor for a great coach and role model for our student-athletes!

As a wise coach once told me, when you're building your staff get guys who are fresh off the field, or guys who played for you and know what you demand as a coach. Well I was blessed enough to get both. Today we announce the addition of Taylor Temple to our
