2010 Warriors Football Preview

SGriffith — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 12:51:07 +0000

New head football coach Jared Tucker is excited about the 14 guys he will take into battle on Friday nights. The Warriors enter 2010 looking to turn around last year’s fortunes after dropping seven of their last eight games and finishing 3-7 overall. Long-time head coach Ron Hamilton stepped down after last season, and the void has been filled by Tucker, a 2010 Wartburg College graduate who is also the new K-12 physical education instructor and middle school health teacher at Walnut.

Tucker, a native of Strawberry Point, Iowa, played four years of football at Wartburg and was a defensive captain his senior year, when he finished with 19 total tackles, four tackles for loss and one sack. He will be assisted by Don Contini, who joins the school district after moving from Ohio.

Sorry to hear about your accident. Get plenty of rest and you’ll be back on your feet before you know it.

Here are some ideas for what to do when you are stuck inside for a while:

5. Watch all 6 episodes of Star Wars.

4. Destroy those “Republic Meat-Bags” in Battlefront on the Playstation.

3. Build a paper airplane.

2. Read a book, or 10.

1. Watch a funny video on Youtube.

New Website for 2010

Preview

The Friends of WCS website is undergoing some major changes for 2010. With this change will come a new backend system to support the users of the website. This means that new user accounts will need to be created. Of course, no user account is required to view all the pages of the website, only to add content or comments.

The current system has proved to be cumbersome and was not widely adopted by registered users. The new system will be based on the more open and popular WordPress blogging backend. This should be more familiar to anyone interested in contributing.

More Details to come…

I am currently investigating to see if the Joomla users can be imported into the WP system.

Update: I have redirected the main page of the old site to the new site. Any resources remaining on the old site will only be able to be accessed via direct link or by contacting me.
