Thomasville vs. Central Davidson

[PrepFanNC]

Don Osborne is not a member of the Thomasville coaching staff. He has worked with kickers from area high schools, as well as high schools in Virginia, South Carolina and Georgia. Just wrote a book entitled “Was it all just for kicks?”
He tutored Snow Brenner, the female kicker from High Point Central, Will Johnson from that school, Eddie Pope of soccer fame, Clayton Trivette (long snapper), current coach at Central Davidson, Zach Pickard (Southern Alamance and Virginia Tech). I counted at least 18 area high schools that have had players who received instruction under Don. He has regular voluntary sessions on Sunday afternoons, open to players from any school, and has held kicking camps at UNC, NC State, Guilford and other colleges. He also holds an annual camp in Thomasville.
Don also accepts no pay for his tutelage.
Your concern is appreciated but all is good with Coach Don and his activities.

I figured there was nothing to worry about. You’re a well informed and well connected community member and certainly know your stuff. Again, I hope no one thought I was being accusatory.

Kudos to Mr. Osborne for his commitment to all things special teams! We’ve come a long way from those days when we all had one “square toed shoe” in a tackle box.

No offense taken here. You raised a very valid question.
I just hope the long snapper and holder for Thomasville are taking advantage of those Sunday afternoons. Most years for Thomasville, the kicker is the only one that shows. If that. They could use a little extra time as a unit. Our punter hasn't had a chance, and the snaps aren't getting to the tee cleanly so the kicker doesn't either.
