state championship
BY JUSTIN THOMAS, jthomas_acnpapers.comPublished: Tuesday, August 9, 2011 8:13 PM CDTFor the first time in more than a decade, Creekview's football team made an appearance at the Division I State 7-on-7 Football Tournament, reaching the consolation round in College Station before bowing out.At least part of the squad's success in reaching state can be attributed to World Champ Training, which has been training athletes from Creekview and throughout the Metroplex year-round, including multiple competitors from the Mustangs' 7-on-7 team.Seventeen players that competed for the Mustangs at state also combined with other Carrollton residents to form the WCT Bulldogs, which took first at the 7-on-7 PrimeTime Sports Tournament of Champions in July in College Station.The squad went 6-0 to claim the title after previously finishing first at a qualifying event. During the summer, WCT competed in nine tournaments and placed first in eight of them, including winning the Carrollton Liberty Fest Tournament.Top performers for Prime Time Sports include quarterback David Blough, receiver Desmond Mitchell and receiver Griffin Lazor, who each received all-tournament honors. Defensively, Jordyn Peeler got the all-tournament nod.WCT has been training in Carrollton and established its 7-on-7 program more than three years ago while continuing to expand."Things have been going great," said Andres Ruiz, coach and founder of WCT. "We've expanded personnel and we have more trainers and therapists. We've also picked up a few former college athletes to help us out with basketball and continue to expand our sports and training areas."With the 7-on-7 season complete and athletes now preparing for their high school seasons, WCT has transitioned its training from 7-on-7 to more focused work on skill positions."These kids are training all year," Ruiz said. "Right now, the kids are finding out what their positions might be for their respective teams, and we increase our training to help develop the athletes in those roles. We also have more specific training for basketball players and other sports."Ruiz said WCT's next step is to form an "all-star" team in an effort to compete in the New Level Athletics National 7-on-7 Tournament."They just had a New Level Tournament at SMU and (former Dallas Cowboy) Keyshawn Johnson's team won," Ruiz said. "So we are looking to put together a team of players from the area that can compete in those events. Now that we've won state, we want to play on the national level. It's something players will have to sign up and try out for. We're hoping to begin that around January with the qualifiers for the New Level Tournaments taking place sometime between March and April."In addition to increasing 7-on-7 skills, WCT training prepares athletes to compete in combine activities.Recently, WCT and Creekview cornerback Jordan Coleman was ranked No. 1 in the nation for the Class of 2014 at the Top Elite Prospects Camp at the University of Oklahoma, while former Creekview and Hebron receiver Keith Burse was ranked No. 4 among receivers in the nation.Burse also ranked as the No. 1 receiver and MVP at the 2011 National Underclassmen Southwest Combine March 12 in Duncanville -- where Blough and Coleman also competed -- and received the Combine Dodie Donnell Award (best pure football player) at the 2011 U100 Athletes Camp June 24 in Duncanville. Blough ranked as the No. 7 quarterback at the U100 with Coleman claiming top defensive back honors.WCT is based out of Carrollton but trains athletes from throughout North Texas, including Plano, Irving, Duncanville and DeSoto, among others.Listed below are the Creekview players on the state-title winning Bulldogs:2011 WCT BulldogsDavid Blough -- QBKJ Burse -- WRRanjit Mason -- WRDesmond Mitchell -- WRDylan Kittrell -- WRDeven Barnes -- RBDorcus Greene IV -- RBLazor Griffin -- TEJordyn Peeler -- SJordan Coleman -- CBAsad Irfan -- LBReginald Atkins -- LBAustin Young -- MLBAlex Vasquez -- LBAvery August -- LBMarkcus Hardy -- LBCamron Knight -- S/CB
football camp
BY JUSTIN THOMAS, Staff writerPublished: Tuesday, July 1, 2008 5:50 PM CDTWhether you are new to the sport of football, or are just looking to sharpen your skills, World Champ Training is designed to prepare kids for their upcoming season.Athletes, typically between the ages of 10 to 16 from around the Metroplex, including Carrollton, Frisco and Rowlett among others, have attended the camp which takes place at Josey Ranch Sports Complex in Carrollton.We are a football skills and conditioning camp open to all athletes who want good training, said Andres Ruiz, a head coach at World Champ Training. All of our trainers played high school and collegiate athletics and know the game well.According to Ruiz, one advantage of World Champ Training is the individual attention athletes receive, in addition to having a longer camp.We want the athletes and parents to know what they want and what they are going to get out of the camp, Ruiz said. Instead of a camp that is a couple days or a week long and focuses on one purpose or position, our camp is four weeks long and can teach both basic fundamentals to kids of varying levels. Its a lot more mentoring on a one-on-one level. We pinpoint faults and introduce different aspects of the game in a full training camp. Weve had athletes who have never played football and its tremendous to watch some of these kids progress each week. Its something to be proud of.Early in the camp the staff takes times and measurements to determine where the athlete is in terms of his development.We see where they have room for improvement whether it is speed or agility or fundamentals. We recently had an athlete come to our camp and drop his 40-yard-dash time from 5.22 seconds to 5.06 in four weeks.Ruiz added many of the trainees come to camp to learn the fundamentals to play a new position.However, World Champ Training also increases the technique, speed and agility for experienced players.We try to break up the athletes based on age and ability to train together so the athlete is not doing unnecessary tasks, Ruiz said.In addition to skills and conditioning, an important aspect to World Champ Training is unity.The kids are learning how to operate as a team, Ruiz said. Training as a team, cooperating and working in unison.While the training program in the summer prepares athletes for the football season, Ruiz said they are looking to branch off into training programs for other sports as well as offering camps during other times of the year such as winter and spring break. But, for the time being Ruiz is preparing athletes for the upcoming football season.We teach conditioning and fundamentals but its more about what to do when the ball is snapped, Ruiz said. Our kids are more confident and ready to react rather than thinking about what to do.For information about World Champ Training go to www.worldchamptraining.com.
