You can’t avoid the process.
You can’t avoid the sacrifice.
You can’t avoid the commitment.
You can’t avoid the discipline.

The work is the work. It takes what it takes.

Starkville Academy will be hosting a Football and Fellowship Clinic on Friday April 12. We are so excited about the group of coaches that will be speaking. Mark April 12th on your calendar and come join us.

After a great visit to Co-Lin Football I’m blessed and honored to receive an offer! With that being said I will be closing my recruitment, and committing to CoLin!! Micah Davis

Loved my visit to EMCC Football and thrilled to have a scholarship offer to continue my playing career‼️

I had a great visit Belhaven Football today! Thank you to Jordan Potts for the invitation.

Nick Saban has always asked this question about Leadership...

'How many guys on the team need to be led?'

Coach Saban believed in the power of Collective Leadership with his teams.

1. Are most players on your team bought in?
2. Do most players on your team set a good example?…

I had a great visit East Central Community College Football! Thank you to Coach Parrish Huddleston and Jonathan J. Webster for the invite.

Our Defensive Player of the Year is Starkville Academy DL Jackson Easton.

Jackson spearheaded a fantastic Volunteer defense with 129 tackles and 12.0 sacks helping his squad to the state semifinals.

Entitlement leads to bitterness. You’ll never have “enough” and you’ll never have what you think you deserve.

Gratitude leads to peace. You have more than enough, you have more than you deserve.

Gratitude is a superpower. Gratitude is a choice.

Thankful to be an All-Purpose MAIS player.
