DIBOLL LUMBERJACK LINEMAN CHALLENGE

Dear Coach,

This is an official invitation for your “non-skilled players†to compete in the 1st Annual Diboll Lumberjack Lineman Challenge.  My name is Dustin Nessell and I am the offensive line coach at Diboll High School.  I think it is extremely important for our kids to compete as much as possible.  Until now, our lineman have had limited exposure to spring and summer competitions.  A Lineman Challenge offers position specific events to challenge our kids and allows them to compete in a fun and safe environment.  This letter is to inform you about the lineman challenge.  Should you decide to participate, please fill out the registration form enclosed and e-mail or fax to Dustin Nessell or Tom Sheppard Head Football Coach Diboll High School
