Alumni Game and Seasons End Party

Alumni Game
The alumni flag football game is this Saturday at 10AM. We need players to take on the alumni. Please let me know if your son will be playing in the game. If your son wants to get a jump on his service hours he can show up at 8:30AM and stay after the game as we work on the storage area under the grandstand and put away some equipment.

Player Interviews
I will begin doing player interviews on a regular basis after school once the second semester starts. I have been able to interview about 10 players so far and I think it has been a really good experience for everyone.

Season's End Party
We are going to have our end of season football party on January 24 during the AFC/NFC championship games. We will watch some NFL football and our own highlights while eating some wings. I will send out more details as the time gets closer.

Football Alumni Game

On January 2, CCS will host six different alumni games. This year it will include flag football at 10AM. We will need players to compete against the alumni which will include 3 members of our coaching staff. It should be a fun day to start of the second semester.

Banquet and Lupe's Kids

Banquet
The fall sports banquet is Thursday, December 17 at 7:00 in the MUF. I would like for your son to be dressed up (no shorts, jeans or t-shirts).

Awards Voting
I will be at school tomorrow morning to hand out awards voting ballots. If your son does not see me they should find Coach Neufeld or Cindy Wilhite during the day to vote.

Athletics Period
I would like all football players to be in athletics period. I will personally be running the class next semester. It is the only time during the school year outside of the football season that I can work with your son directly regarding football. It is going to become a vital part of our football program as we work to close the gap and reach the next level.

TAPPS Football Champions
Waco Richer defeated Brook Hill 35 to 28 in a great game Saturday night to win the Division III State Championship. Canyon Creek Richardson who is on our schedule for next year won the Division IV title.

Lupe’s Kids
Lupe is an amazing woman that works with these families year round. CCS partners with her every Christmas to provide gifts. I know that a lot of you are participating with your in-season sport. You do not need to feel obligated to participate with two different sports teams. We will go shopping as a team on Saturday December 12 at 10AM (probably Wal-Mart and Toys R Us). We will leave from the school but will end by having lunch at the Buffalo Wild Wings across 249 from the mall and close to the movie theater.

I will have Rylin and Carson to help us shop and to use for appropriate size comparison. If your son cannot make it on Saturday you can contribute money by giving it to Becky Morgan prior to Saturday or even bring gifts if you want to do shopping ahead of time.

Our family has 3 kids
Boy 4 size 6 – Toys and warm winter clothes

Boy 6 size 8 – Bike and warm winter clothes
