 It's year three of the David Jones era here at Phelps, as the Phelps Hornets have gone over the years from 13 players, barely fielding a team to having over 30 participants. The Hornets coming off a five and five season one year ago, their back in district play with 15 starters back on both sides of the football, Phelps they're working hard to have a special season. You know I was a part of this program for 10 or 11 years when I first started teaching and we never had 30 kids on a July day when it was 90 degrees. You know I think we saw 32 or 33 at one point last week and it's unbelievable what he's been able to do in such a short amount of time to get the kids out. You know that's really been of help when I finished seasons with 12 or 13 kids on the sidelines going to race in the playoffs and it wasn't fun. Joe Jones has added several different assistant coaches throughout the years to help him build this program and one former leader who has now come back to be a key assistant on this year's team, Randy Smith. Joe Jones gave me the opportunity to come back out and I was like you know I think I will. I think I'll come out and see what I can do to help him and I think that we got a real good chance of doing something special here this year. But right now our main focus is the first game of the year at Eastridge. We look at one team at a time. We don't look past nobody. I think we're on a pretty good high level for the start of the season and I think it's going to be a pretty good season this year though. With the Hornets with over 15 starters back, plenty of experience and athleticism. They are looking to do damage and have a memorable season. Go game by game, work hard, practice Monday through Thursday, strap them up on Friday by game. The fan support is crazy. I mean I love it. As many people that come here or at the away games, just everybody's fully behind you supporting you all the way. At Phipps, for EKB Sports, I'm Joe Kinzer.
