Week 0 HS/MS Football Schedule

It is week 0 and everyone plays a game this week. The MS will play Northland at 6PM on Thursday at home and the Varsity will travel to Brazos Christian on Friday for the start of the 2009 football season. I think we are ready to play. I was pleased with how we played in the Fort Bend Scrimmage. Our style of play is not very conducive to a scrimmage setting and once we got in a rhythm in the second quarter I felt like it was easy to see how were Closing the Gap on both sides of the ball.

Weekly Theme: Love
1 John 4:18-19 “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because He first loved us.”

Game Day
On game days for home and away games your son will stay at school and be fed a meal. They need to have everything with them that they will need for the game that night.

Wednesday Speaker
Wednesday will be the first opportunity for you to come out and share with the team. We need someone to speak to both the MS and HS. I have learned over the years that they want to hear your story and it is not so important if you were an athlete or not. If you are interested and have questions please catch me after practice or send me an email.

Athletic Forms
If you have not already turned in all your athletic forms those need to be turned into Cindy Wilhite or Coach Martin for your son to be able to play this week. There are 5 forms that are required: Physical, TAPPS acknowledgement of rules, parent signature page of athletic handbook, student signature page of student handbook and the transportation form. All of these forms can be downloaded from the school website at: http://www.cypresschristian.org/39875.ihtml.

Uniforms
Your son should have received two game jerseys and a pair of game pants. These are your son’s responsibility. They should not be stored at school and should be washed after every game. It is best if they are not dried in the dryer. We will take care of washing practice clothing weekly at school but coaches will not be washing uniforms after games.

Website Pictures
In the past our photos on the web have always been password protected. That is no longer gong to be true. If you are concerned about that please let me know.

Media Coverage
We will be covered in pretty good detail by the 1960 Sun as well as the Houston Chronicle and the Lone Star Christian Sports Network. If you see articles on the web or in print please send them to me so that we can post them on the website or link to them.

Game Film
All the film from the scrimmage is on the website. We will be posting MS film after Thursday’s game. Scouting film for Brazos Christian will be posted later tonight and tomorrow for your son to watch. It will be broken out into offense and defense so they only need to watch what pertains to them. Game film should always be viewed after homework and family time but it should come before TV and Playstation.


In Christ,

Coach Spenn
