Coach Sink has Junior Star in Michigan

Hometownlife, the online magazine featured one of my quarterbacks recently with a great article.

In it they wrote,

If the most important position in football is quarterback, then South Lyon East should be in pretty good hands with junior Chris Kaminski.

Although the Cougars struggled to a 1-8 record in 2016, East coach Joe Pesci is confident his second-year signal caller can help orchestrate a turnaround season in 2017.

“He started last year as a sophomore, so it’s nice having him back with a ton of experience,”Â Â Pesci said. “He’s gotten bigger and stronger in the off season. You start to see the growth and development from last year. He’s got more command of the offense. His arm is stronger, he’s reading defenses better and there’s a lot more confidence out there. Any time you have your signal caller back you always start in a good position, so we’re very fortunate with that.”

They even mentioned the fact that he is now using a private QB coach.

Last season as a starter, Kaminski completed 79-of-155 passes (50.9Â percent)Â for 977 yards and eight touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

Kaminski worked with a personal quarterback coach during the off season and appears determined to lead the Cougars to a state playoff berth. The only other time East made it to the postseason was in 2012 as an MHSAA Division 3 qualifier.

“Mainly I’ve been focusing on footwork, a lot of reading defenses, so that’s helped me along,” Kaminski said. “I think it will help, not only being able to throw the ball farther, and getting the ball off quicker, but being able to take some hits and also being able to deliver some hits as well.”
