HS Football Week 9

Friday was a great night with so many exciting plays, school records being broken, and the clinching of a playoff spot and district championship. Click here to read the story on the website that contains more details. It was great to honor such a special group of seniors. They are such a cohesive unit that has provided great leadership for a team that is continuing to improve each week. I am looking forward to an exciting finish as we enter the playoffs.

Additional Drivers
It is a long trip to Evadale and it would be nice to have some space on the bus. If we have two or three people that are willing to drive and take players that would really help.

Playoff Schedule
We will be the favorite to win the first two rounds of the playoffs. The first round will most likely be on Friday and it will be at home. The rest of the games will be at neutral sights and most likely on Saturday. Assuming we are still in the playoffs we will practice the week of Thanksgiving. We will not practice on Thanksgiving Day. We really have a great opportunity this year so please keep your Thanksgiving plans as flexible as possible.

Winter Sports
I know that tryouts for winter sports have started. They are allowed to attend the tryouts but must continue to be at all football related functions unless they have direct permission from me. While a JV player may not play much in the varsity games the extra weeks of practice really benefit them in the future and we need every player to make a practice productive.

JV Game on October 31 and November 3
This is certainly not ideal but we will play two JV games in the same week next week as we make up the rained out game against Bay Area and travel to Faith West. This will conclude our JV games for the season but JV players will remain with the team throughout the playoffs.

Team Pictures
Your son was given a CD of the pictures on Friday. There may still be a few players that need to pick theirs up. If it does not make it home to you please let me know and I will get you another copy. I left a folder of senior pictures off of a few discs so I will get that mistake corrected as well.

Senior Dinner
I will be taking the seniors out for dinner on Thursday. The location is still to be determined. We will leave after practice and probably be done around 7PM.

On-line Film
The varsity game film is up. I will put scout and JV film up on Monday. I am way behind on game highlights being on the website but hope to get caught up this week.

Stats and Website
Each week I post the stats (they are attached to this email) for each game and usually write a story about the game. All of this can be found at www.CypressChristian.org/Football.
