We need anybody to contribute that goes to any schools. What we need is when is Christmas break and what is the practice schedule like compared to the regular practice time. I know as a coach my first year at the varsity level we had a two week spring break and we were playing the worst team in the league at home who we had just waxed a few weeks prior at their place 16-2 and lose 15-10. We made tons of mistakes and just seemed out of sync and character. The next game the 2nd week of break we barely scrape by and look like crap. I talked to the principle at the time who I was good friends with and I said I do not know what in the heck is wrong with us. He said spring break. The kids are sleeping until noon and out of the normal routine. I thought ok it sounds good, but did not believe it. The next year we end up winning the league title, but lost are only league game which snapped a 10 game win streak against a joke team during the second week of spring break. Thank God they changed our spring break to one week. We won the league championship last year and I attribute it to that. In the three years I coach with spring break being two weeks we were 2-4 and over the three years we were 23-7 in league and 2-4 in league in the 2nd week of the break. I think if anyone goes to the college and could provide practice time etc it would be huge. I think a lot of good money lines could be hit during this break period. There is some huge upsets over this period. I saw on yahoo today they had a good article on final exams of the top 25 teams in the nation. Well, just wanted to add that and think we could hit some live dogs.
