MS Football Season's End

I am very excited about the MS football season. I saw so much growth and continue to see so much potential. When I watch players I always look at their potential as a senior and plan for the future. We will have a great freshmen football class next year and should have another great MS season as well. It is always amazing to me how players grow and fill positions. Some of our best HS players hardly played in MS but through continued hard work they have made tremendous impacts at the HS level. HS football also has so much more time to develop deep lasting relationships that will sharpen these young men into the men that God wants then to become.

As coaches we are always planning for the future and plan for each players career through his senior year. If your son does not plan to play football again next year I would like for them to talk to me personally. I think this is an important step in adulthood. It also helps us plan as in just a few short months I will begin the process of purchasing equipment for next season.

Equipment Turn In
Players will turn in all their school issued equipment on Monday after school at the field house prior to the team party. Their locker should be completely cleaned out at this time.

Pictures
I hope to be able to provide the MS players with a picture CD on Monday. The feedback from the players at all levels has been very positive. This is certainly an out of the box way to do pictures and I welcome your feedback. I know we started late as the photographer was coming from another photo shoot that started before dawn and was far more profitable for him then ours was. The original plan was to do pictures very early in the season which is what will happen with winter sports.

Game Film
I will be making copies of game film available. It will be three DVD’s that contain all 8 A games and the final B game. I plan to have those available at the Fall MS Sports Awards Banquet in a couple of weeks.

Clothing
There are still a few players that are missing a shirt or a pair of shorts. I have more coming in this week. I am not sure if I will have them to give out on Monday but I will get them passed out this week.
