Field Just A Dream

Here is a story that is impressive.

Omaha Christian practices on a plot of grass next to Emmanuel Fellowship Church at 84th and Crown Point Avenue, with no line markers or goal posts. “You don't know the exact width of a field,'' coach Tim Hamilton said. “Sometimes we don't set up exactly the way I'd like, but I don't blame the kids too much for that.''

Omaha Christian holds classes in a former office building off 103rd and Fort Streets, a facility the school recently purchased and renovated after renting three other buildings during the past 16 years.

But right now it's just classrooms. No locker room, no gymnasium, no football field and a minuscule weight room.

So what if their cars are traveling locker rooms? Or if their practice field lacks line markers, goal posts and lights? Or if all of their games are away?

It just makes the Eagles tough, senior linebacker and tight end Jacob Richards said.

GO EAGLES!
