Sure there may be a huge hole in the middle of the practice field and they may not have goalposts to work on their kicking game, but the Texas Leadership Charter Academy Eagles are not seeing those as negative things heading into the year.

The Eagles, who just moved into the former State Street YMCA, will be fielding a UIL-sanctioned team for just the second time this year and have tapped former Stamford defensive coordinator Jeremy Kirk to lead the program in transition.

Despite the limitations on the practice field, Kirk is fired up for his first head coaching job and all of the history that his squad is poised to make.
