As we work on skills is our Flag Football Unit, do a self-check and see if you are mastering these skills:

* Throwing a football
Turn shoulder to point to target
Ball pulled back behind ear
Lead throw with elbow
Step towards target and follow through
* Throwing to a moving target
Aim throw ahead of the target
Make throw catchable by aiming chest high
* Catching a football
Relax fingers
Make a basket to catch ball in
Pull ball into body after catching
* Making the "tackle"
Pull flags on belts only, not clothing
Drop flag where pulled, do not throw
* Avoiding a "tackle"
Use dodging movements to avoid a "tackle"
Run or spin to avoid a tackle, but do not jump

This team sport gives you an excellent opportunity to work on Sportsmanship by including all players on your team in the game, encouraging teammates and opponents alike, and making sure to congratulate people on good plays and at the end of the game.

Exciting news for Mabry Middle today! Dr. Tyson ("Papa T" is my nickname for the principal) made a huge announcement today. Mabry was awarded a $10,000 grant and 1/4 of million dollars worth of technology hardware and equipment! Mabry was a finalist and chosen out of 3,200 other schools for this amazing honor given by the Intel company. Papa T made the announcement this morning at 11:00 am to the whole school in his tuxedo vest and bow tie, and Alex G., 7th grade yearbook staffer, captured this moment on camera for Mabry's big news. I just wanted to say thanks to Dr. Tyson, Mrs. McCrary, and Mr. Swanson for all of their hard work, and dedication to education and to Mabry Students! We are truly blessed to have such awesome people working together to make our experience at Mabry the best ever!

Here is Alex's Pic of Papa T spreading the good news!

Mabry's Flag Football draft was a huge success! The boys draft was last week, and the girls draft was today. Girls start their season tomorrow morning at 8:00 am sharp! Remember, you can only enter intramurals through the gym doors, and only between 8:00-8:15 am. Good luck to all of the Mabry football teams!

Here are a few pics from draft day at Mabry.

Coach Graber leads the way!

8th grade captains, Andrew & Jimmy, get in the spirit of Draft Day and pick a great team for this season!

Due to the addition of the Band and Orchestra teams, some restructuring of the league is necessary. This is of course taking some time. We will post teams later this week, and plan to have preseason games on Tuesday September 13th.

Posted by Tim Graber at 12:08 PM

This week we will play preseason games against teams from the opposite division to "shake the rust off" our game. Some teams will be playing on a different day than normal.

Thursday Games(9/8): Destroyers vs Hammerheads; Vipers vs Barracudas;
Sizzlin' Bacon vs Rampage

Friday Games(9/9): SabreCats vs Cobras; Swarm vs Band; Steel Dogs vs Orchestra
