Published August 26, 2006 09:39 am - Claremore Christian School Preview Growing Up TRAVIS PECK
Progress Sports Writer One thing about being a second-year football program. There’s plenty of room to improve. Just ask Claremore Christian School coach Ryan Mullins. Last year, the Warriors took to the football field for the first time, and finished with a 4-4 record. “We had 12 kids come out, and it was tough getting them to work hard, and work together, but we were still glad to win four games,” he said. This season, as the Warriors compete as an independent in the eight-man game, Mullins has 15 players on his roster. Only two, quarterback Travis Poole and lineman Matt Osborn (6-0, 185), are seniors. “We are bigger and faster this season,” Mullins said. “The off-season lifting and running has really helped our players gain. Top to bottom.” Mullins might have added another asset about his team: Experience. Poole (6-1, 160) started every game, and threw for 1,258 yards. His favorite target, wide receiver Ryan Deckard, also returns. The 6-1, 155-pound junior caught a dozen passes last year, two for touchdowns. CCS employed a wide-open offense last season. Poole averaged nearly 40 passes per game. Mullins expects little to change this year.
