When you are talking about Howard Jackson, you have to talk about his speed, ... Howard has a chance to be both a return specialist and a running back in this league.
He's a big running back. He runs low and breaks tackles. We're a run-oriented offense. If he's running well and the offensive line is blocking well, that means we're doing well.
If we get our trap going inside, it helps us a lot. We thought we'd run the ball, eat up the clock and keep their offense off the field because they have some good athletes on offense.
I will put Southview and Northview in front. Both have a lot back and Maumee had a nice run last year and has a lot of good guys back.
When he's determined to run the ball hard, he can be a physical presence.
I went around to different points and as I caught her I would have her do different running techniques. Otherwise Brooke's mind might go stagnant from being bored.
I noticed Brooke slow down and she actually walked a few steps. I raced over to see if she was okay, but she was running again by the time I got there. Brooke recovered nicely and was never pushed.
In the second half, I knew it was going to open up for me a little bit because guys were making shots and getting it done on the offensive end. I just knew it was going to be my time in crunch time.
Brooke told me today that she feels fine. And just knowing she was able to run on her ankle is a confidence boost.
Just knowing (Andrus) was able to run on her ankle is a confidence boost.
