Ron Estes and the Blissfield varsity football coaches teach many lessons at Sauk Valley each August. Estes also learns a lot during the grueling, three-day camp that has become a Blissfield football rally cry over the years.
“You can tell a lot about the kids on your team just by watching the way they work, and the way they push themselves, and push each other,” Estes said.
Estes isn’t one to predict how many wins his team will get, or to venture a guess about a team’s playoff potential. But after a couple days with the 2010 edition of the Blissfield Royals, he was willing to say this:
“I like these kids. This group works really hard and they listen. This is going to be a really good group,” he said.
