Hello Football Families,
I hope you all had a great first week of school. Remember we represent our football team on the field, in the community and in the classroom!
This week we will be learning about Coach Wooden's Pyramid Block of Success (Team Spirit): "For me, it meant I was constantly searching for that player who would make our team 'great' rather than a someone who was just a 'great player'. There is a big difference and that difference is what constitutes Team Spirit."
- John Wooden
Check out this video on Team Spirit:

With "Team Spirit" in mind I would like to take a moment to thank everyone you serves our athletes and program with a spirit of love. From everyone who works in the snack bar, chain crew, film team, press box, and behind the scenes.
A special thank you to Christie Elliot who leads and organizes our snack bar. She spends hours shopping and stocking our snack bar so that we could raise funds for our football program.
Thank you to Ryan DeShane and the ECHS athletic department for all your work and preparation. There are so many things that happen behind the scene for us to host a home game. These are amazing nights for our community.
Thank you to Adam Mitchell and our chain crew you guys are amazing!
Thank you to our team mom Amy Taylor and last weeks host family the Campbell's for planning and hosting our team dinner! It was so fun to be together as a team outside of the football field.
Finally, thank you to Ben Elliot and his film team who record our games from the press box and end zone. Your work is such a critical part of our teaching and learning. It's worth 7-14 points a game!
In closing, as we we enter week two of the season, Novice you will join the varsity this week on the sideline as we play O'Farrell. Players and families please note the game time is at 7PM. All players need to secure their own rides and arrive no later 4:30PM.
Play as One!
