Warrior Football Week 5

It is good to start playing schools our size again. We gained a little toughness the last few weeks that I think is really going to show in the weeks to come. We certainly delivered some hits on Friday night, won the battle in the trenches and had so few injuries that Coach Van Pelt actually watched the game. I hope this trend continues.

There are a lot of distractions with Homecoming. Please remind your son that need to continue to study and that football is the reason for everything else.

We have had a couple good weeks of practice but we can still get better. It takes 44 players to have an effective practice so we need everyone if we are going to get better as a football team. While we started the football season with 51 players on the roster we have never had more than 43 dressed and participating at a single practice.

Weekly Theme - Humility
Romans 15:5-6 “May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

JV Team
On Tuesday we are planning to release the varsity players early and keep the JV players for an extra ten minutes to get a little more organized for the JV game on Thursday. The JV teams we play actually practice together most of the week. We don’t have enough players to do that and just need a few extra minutes to get organized before this Thursdays game.

Homecoming
Make plans to come out and tail gate before the game. The Junior and Senior classes will be grilling hamburgers and hotdogs along with other food as a class fundraiser.

Football For Moms
We will have a Football for Moms class. I am still working on the date and will be sending out more information.

Football Media Guide
You will be able to pick up a copy of the 2010 Football Media Guide on Friday night at homecoming for just $3. It is already available on the website.

Film
Scout film for this week and the game film from Canyon Creek are on the internet. Please have your son take a few minutes to watch them. Even if they did not play in the game they can learn a lot by watching film with the coaches on Monday morning in the field house.

Middle School information
The A team bounced back to get a great win last Thursday. I enjoyed watching numerous players make some big time plays. From a distance I have been able to see steady improvement and that is exactly what MS football needs to be about. The B team will travel up to the Conroe area to play a new school in Alpha Omega and the A team will get to play on Field Turf at Fort Bend this week. Your son does not need anything special to play on Field Turf. They will use regular cleats just like they do on grass.
