You Are Now Entering... the DEAD PERIOD
St. Paul High School Athletic Director Marc Hernandez (yes, that's the same Marc Hernandez of NIAAA fame) checked in this afternoon with a bit of interesting info.
For the first time in the Coach Pete Gonzalez era, St. Paul has moved up its dead period.
The dead-time period consists of three weeks of non-activity (not counting lifting) mandated by the CIF Southern Section office.
Last season, St. Paul took its three weeks off from July to August.
This year the Swordsmen will start the dead period on Friday, June 6.
When asked for a reason behind the change, Hernandez said the coaching staff felt that the team would be better served to take its break early and then head into the season without another interruption.
While the timing is a bit strange in this area, it's consistent with what many Orange County schools have done recently.
Of course, this begs the question, is it better to have the dead period early and then head into the season, or later, and give the players a final rest before the long haul?
