Wk of 8/30: Updates and Reminders

A number of the players have not yet handed in their fundraiser packets. Please have them in by Tuesday, 8/31 if at all possible. If you need additional time please let me know. Also, we will not have practice on Saturday or Monday of Labor Day Weekend. Next week we will practice Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with our first game against Tosa West at home on Saturday. The weeks to follow we will be on our Monday, Tuesday and Thursday practice routine. Lastly, we encourage all of the players to attend the varsity game on Friday versus Germantown. It is Youth Football Night at the stadium. Details of the event will be mentioned at one of the practices this week.

Scrimmage Notes: The scrimmages were a tremendous experience for our players and you could certainly see the progress from the first scrimmage in Germantown to the second one in Grafton. The players are clearly grasping what we are teaching both on offense and defense. It important to continue our progress because certainly Tosa West will be a great test for us to start the season.
