Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Marble Falls Mustangs fresh of a week off and
how they get back under wag and slam pass us
at home this Friday evening, and let's talk with Marble
Falls has football coach Kerrie Timmerman and athletic director because
you did some athletic director duties while you were off
last week, coach, So, first off, how was the bye week?
It was busy.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Never always laugh when people say you have an off week.
We really don't have off. We just try to sharpen
some things up and get the kids a little healed up.
But for me on the ads side, yeah, I was
trying to get to as many things as I could
for our up and coming sports like basketball. Just started
practice last week and then we got to see regional
cross country and see our kids, Recemassy and Tyler Hamblin
compete and qualify for state. So that'll be this Friday.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
That's awesome. So that's going to be out at the
Believe Old Sailor's Park, right yeah, Roarchtown. It's gonna be
fun watch these kids compete. Awesome, that's good. How was
it checking in all the practice last week? All the
different sports.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
It's always fun, you know. I mean, I think as
a coach, you always appreciate, you know, learn from other
people and getting to kind of watch and see what
your coaches do with the kids, just because you know,
in my in season right now, I'm so busy and
so focused with our kids and our coaches that I
kind of get to not see other sides of our
kids and our coaches. And so basketball got kicked off
for boys and girls last week. I got to see
Coach Berkman and coach Canalysis practices we're fighting for a
(01:14):
playoff spot. And volleyball got to go to a volleyball
practice or too, and kind of watch coach pace with
the girls. And so that's fun for me. I think
you get things out of everything with those coaches and
those practices, get to kind of just you know, just
learn a little bit who those coaches are. And also
as a you know, a head coach, try to find
ways maybe to take some of that into your practices
make it a little bit more fun, a little bit
more competitive.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
During the football season. Is it tough to put attention
to the other sports when you're so busy on yours.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
I think, yeah, I mean it's difficult to balance that.
I try as much as I can to just be
available for coaches and then be at their games, but
I don't get to go evaluate practices and things like
that as much. So by a week, I use that
time to let my high school coaches, football coaches coach
the freshmen, and I step away from those practices a
couple of days and I can go watch our sports
and just kind of see where I can help coaches,
(02:02):
see what they need, just try to watch our kids
develop and been really impressed. And then, like I said,
just being able to go watch you know, Tyler and
Reese and our entire boys and girls cross country teams
just kill it in regionals down in Huntsville and qualify
too for state. So really excited to get to watch them.
But yeah, there's not a lot of time during football season,
especially in the early months, that that I get to
get to those practices.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
During your time off or during during your week off
and you were out doing your athletic director duties. What
was the football team? What did y'all do this past week?
During your bye week?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
So we kind of rested up a little bit, but
we watched film Monday, came back from Stevenville game. The
weekend off. Monday, we came in and watched film and
lifted and just made some corrections. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday were practices.
We lightened up about thirty forty five minutes per practice,
took a two hour practice, made an hour and a half,
took an hour and a half practicimated about an hour
and fifteen and just tried to get some stuff like
some of our seven on seven, some of our passing
(02:54):
game stuff. Kind of locked down for what we want
to do this week and just looked at some things
personnel wise we wanted to do, get some looks at
other people. Can't ever really take a week off, I mean,
football is just not a sport that you can jump
back into, But we did want to just use some
time to take away a little bit of the physicality
that week and let our kids heal because we've had
fourteen straight weeks of pretty heavy contact and pretty heavy
physical games. So we wanted to give the kids a
(03:16):
chance to kind of kind of catch up and let
their bodies heal a little bit. But yeah, we practiced
three times and then Friday we went and did a visit.
We went to Marble Falls, Elementary, went to Cold went
to Spicewood and Highland Lakes had our kids kind of
get out and around the kids and open car doors,
and then we went and scouted on Friday nights. So
still a busy week.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
Bye week, I guess is probably where you're not focusing
on an opponent so much as yourself.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yeah, just trying to evaluate.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
You know.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
We had some kids get banged up and make sure
we had people behind them that were ready to go,
and then also just look overall, like, you know, we
were lucky in the sense that our bye week fell
in between our four district opponents, so we're able to
look at brown Wood lamp passes coming up and get
a little bit of a film and thought process done
on them before we got to Sunday's meetings on football.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
And also too, with being this late this it's probably
nice to get you know, sometime to maybe lick some
of those wounds out there.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Yeah, I mean, I think for sure, you know, one
of the things is just you know, we kind of
focus on getting healed up and getting our kids mentally right.
And then we also had a chance on Wednesday night
to do something called Helmets and Heels that we try
to celebrate our moms and so that was a real
special times. The first time they've ever done that, and
so it was a real special time for the moms
and the boys just to kind of step out of
football for a minute and kind of enjoy, you know,
(04:27):
a moment, especially for those seniors, because that's really kind
of it's a dedicated thing for all of our varsity
football players, but seniors get to talk and get to
talk to their moms, and their moms get talk to them,
and I think it was a pretty special things. So
got to heal a little bit mentally and emotionally as well,
just kind of kind of breath some life into them
before we go into this last two district games.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
And you talked about the seniors, this is going to
be senior Night for them, their last regular season game
at home, so always an emotional night for them coming up.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yeah, I mean, Senior Night's one of those things too
that you know, usually you have at the end of
the year, and especially after this year as long as
our season's been, Man, it's gonna be a hard one
for those kids because there's a lot of emotions welt up,
a lot of time and spend on that field, a
lot of work, a lot of practices.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
It'll be a special night for our boys, all right, Coach,
thank you very much. That's the lamp passas Badger's coming
to town this Friday evening. Good luck.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Thanks
