(S29) PT 1 - Training Camp

[katarn22]

I think at this point in my ISFL career, I'm no longer a newbie, but not quite a veteran just yet. Therefore, training camp for me was just like any old day of game prep. A new season of course brings with it jitters and excitement, but there is a comfortable familiarity to it all that puts me at ease. For the rookies, however, that excitement is palpable. You can almost cut it with a knife and serve it right back to them. Savior Hawkins and Bradley Welch come to mind in particular. These two, already developing great comradery throughout training camp are two to keep an eye on. They match up against one another every day in practice, and as the bible says, iron sharpens iron. Expect these two to be young standouts for the Royals.

Regarding secret plays, the Royals offense has been pretty vanilla. It's just a part of the team's culture to be traditional. That being said, there is one play - or rather player - you should keep an eye out for. Will "Brick Wall" Smyth has been seen fielding punt and kick returns. The big guy hasn't slimmed down at all, but at times seems to be one of the quickest guys on the team. Everyone loves watching a big man run with the football, and his teammates are no expection.
