Hello Football Family,
How does it feel to earn four more practices and be invited to the CIF Playoffs! Your hard work has paid off and it is a great accomplishment to say the least... I am so proud of each and every one of you. From our scout teams (See Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiWlnjTok6M&feature=youtu.be) to our special teams to our offense and defense we know that it truly takes all of us “Playing as One” to achieve this accomplishment. But we are not done yet! Let’s get ready for the playoffs and keep "Playing as One… and Let’s Finish as One!”
Novice Players, as your season comes to an end please know what you have experienced this season through your grit and resiliency is no easy task! Great job starting and finishing your season. You should be very proud of yourselves as most high schoolers would be not be able to accomplish what you have done. You have worked hard, lived pure, lead with courage, and honored and loved one another well! It has been a gift to watch you all grow and coach you! As Varsity moves onto playoffs we will have a short Varsity and Novice meeting after school tomorrow from 3:00-3:30 for players. Novice will then be dismissed. Please hold on to your gear and you can return your gear at our equipment turn in date (TBD) after our entire season ends.
