LITHIA — Ken Hiscock, the head football coach at Newsome High, said a winning attitude is what helped the Wolves become district champions three years in row.
Hiscock shares his insider secrets on football success during a summer football camp called, “The Wolf Way.” The camp is for children ages 8 to 13 at the Fishhawk Sports Complex, 16120 Fishhawk Blvd., Lithia.
This spring, he is leading the Newsome football pack. It’s his 11th year as the head football coach at Newsome.
“My goal is to create better men for the community and develop a winning attitude, not only on the field but in all aspects of their lives,” Hiscock said.
He said his key football players at Newsome this spring include Class of 2017 Dylan Throneburg, inside linebacker; Drew Lindbeck, quarterback; Cade Abreu, outside linebacker and Joseph Abreu, defensive end.
“They all have great motors, and they all lead by example of what it takes to be a difference maker,” he said. “I am most proud when people compliment us on how well our football players behave in the school and in the community, being district champs three years in row and the run we had to the semifinals in 2012.”
Hiscock is a former coach for Durant High, where he played football, earning first team all-conference.
He later attended Methodist University to earn a bachelor’s of science in physical education while playing middle linebacker.
A member of the career and technical department at Newsome, Hiscock said the team’s biggest challenge is district play.
“We have to win those games to make it to postseason play,” he said.
His help includes the Newsome High football staff coaches.
“Every position is coached by the specific position coach that coaches our high school players,” he said. “They have dedicated their professional lives to make players excel in their discipline.”
The camp coaches teach fundamentals for all positions, such as techniques to gain speed, conditioning and ways for improving the game.
“I believe that any exposure you can attain at a young age of the correct fundamentals is crucial for the success you obtain throughout your career,” Hiscock said.
