Greatness grows in the Gorge

IN the Summer of 2005 we first met Demitri Enesi of the Dalles, Oregon. He showed up to camp way big...like 300 plus big..and slow...like really slow... and disinterested in even being at a Linemen's Camp. Our coaches...especially Brian...were not impressed. Looked like another big lazy kid with a could not give a s@#$...attitude.

Well something changed that year in this kid because in the Summer of 2006 we saw a leaner, happier, and very motivated young man show up and we liked what we saw. The Dalles and the Gorge for that matter can be a tough place to grow up. Opportunities are perhaps limited and playing football there is no guarantee of a shot to get out to the next level. I can not speak to his grades but what I can speak to is his attitude and athleticism. Demitri cam in about 6'2" and 260 and looked very very good in our Camp workouts. He worked hard and improved his technique and won a camp award at the end of the week....most improved linemen.

He had apparently a very good season at the Dalles-Wahtonka HS. I saw him a few weeks ago wrestling as the Heavyweight for his school and he displayed what I would term as Cat Like Quickness for a big man. He has gone on to loose a very close one for the State Heavyweight Title.... Finishing #2 int he State. I am not sure where he will play this year but this Big Strong kid of Polynesian descent is going to be a handful for sure.

To you we wish you a great off season and hope we see you reach your full potential. The sky is clearly the limit for you!
