Practice Time Change:
Also, we are changing our practice times starting next week (wk of 10/4) because of the impending darkness. We will now begin practice at 4:45 PM and end at 6:45 PM.

Oshkosh West Game Notes:
This was a very close and exciting game at the end. The kids played very hard and displayed great character and heart, which was evident when they made two tremendous goal line stands at the end of each half. Hopefully they can carry that momentum into the Slinger game this weekend.

9/13: The First Game is Behind Us

Our first game against Tosa West was a great learning experience for our kids. Overall, for a first game, the kids executed our offense and defense to expectations. We made a number of mistakes, especially on special teams, but nothing that can't be corrected. On defense, they were swarming to the ball and on offense they all played extremely hard. The running backs ran with authority and the line played with a lot of aggression. Our next opponent, West Bend West, will be a great test for our young team.

This is just a reminder that our next game against West Bend West is at home at the Hartford Town Hall on Saturday, September 18 at 12 PM. Please have the kids there no later than 10:45 am for warm ups. Also, make sure to have them wear their black jerseys, black pants and black socks for the game. See you on Saturday!
