| After my first spring as head football coach
at San Marcos High School, I was pleased with the efforts of our
boys. As we head in to the summer, we look forward to
keeping up this momentum! On May 30th, we ended our spring workouts with an inter-squad scrimmage, our 1st annual Blue & Silver Game, BBQ and Fundraiser. Roughly 500 people enjoyed great food from Outback Steakhouse, raffle prizes, music and our silent auction. Co-sponsoring the event with Outback, was North County's own Pisa Tinoisamoa of the St. Louis Rams. The fundraiser was a huge success, raising much needed funds for our program. Along with Pisa and Outback Steakhouse, the community of San Marcos supported their student athletes through generous sponsorships and donations. Our sincerest thanks to all who participated in this inaugural event and we look forward to next year. Looking at our 2008 teams, we are on the verge of something special and it's real exciting! I was impressed with our incoming freshman when I visited our middle schools this spring, and many future Knights came to the Blue & Silver game. Our underclassmen return from an awesome season! Freshmen were 11-1, winning the Valley League Championship and finishing in style by beating Mission Hills! JV was 7-4, and with some great senior leadership, we'll be very competitive this season. Our Offensive system will be both explosive and powerful. We plan to dominate possession time, gain field position, and score points. Defense will be aggressive, limiting opponents' yardage and keeping them off the scoreboard. Special teams will provide momentum change, put us in great field position, and make our opponents drive the length of the field. It has been a great start and I look forward to leading our student-athletes this fall. Through our players' hard work and our coaching staff's preparation, it looks to be an exciting season. The "buzz" is out and our future looks bright! There will be a different attitude and look to San Marcos football this season, but make no mistake, it will be Knights Football! I encourage the community to come out on Friday nights and watch the Knights compete. I look forward to working with the staff at San Marcos High and getting to know the community. I'll see you at Excalibur Field! WORK TODAY, BUILD FOR TOMORROW Coach Pulu |
