HS Football Week -1

We had several great events this weekend from Blue & White, picture day, and our team cookout that had around 100 people at it. Somewhere in there we found time to scrimmage Second Baptist. We certainly have more to do but I am still very pleased with the progress we have made so far this season.

Weekly Theme - Building a FoundationPsalms 18:2a “The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge.”
Matthew 16:18 “…on this rock I will build my church

Inner City Football CampOn Tuesday as a part of practice the HS football team will travel to The Faith Center, a mission of Houston First Baptist Church, and put on a football camp. We will take the bus right after school and should arrive back at school around 8pm. We will wear our practice shorts and shirts. We are planning to grill some hotdogs for the campers and would love to have 5 to 10 dads that would make the trip with us and help with the food. The Faith Center is located at 8009 Long Point Road.

Morning Workout - OptionalOver the years we have been constantly asked about working out more during the season. Coach Honeycutt is going to be able to open up the weight room during the season. We will be starting this week on Monday and Wednesday morning at 6:30 in the weight room. Players will work out for an hour and then shower and go to class. I know this is not possible for everyone but so many have asked that we wanted to make it available.

Booster Club, Season Tickets, Apparel We have sold a lot but we still have season tickets left. You can get a coaches shirt (there is a female cut as well) by signing up for the booster club or by purchasing some of our game day apparel. Click here for more details.

HydrationOur trainer, Paula Douglas, gave the players a good challenge about cutting soda and tea out of their diet and drink about 80oz of water each day. Also, they will be sore and should apply ice to any area that is sore.

VolunteerWe are still looking for a JV team mom if anyone is interested. The biggest responsibly is organizing and serving the pregame meal. We are also in need of someone to take on the concession stand set up. You would not be responsible to work during the game just get everything set up before the game and ready to go. We are going to use Please Bring It to help coordinate our volunteers. Our first home game is just two weeks away so please click here to start singing up. If each family can just help three times we will be have everything for the season covered.

Austin Trip – September 14On September 14 we will be playing a varsity game in Austin followed by a JV game the next day at noon. We are planning to spend the night. I would prefer that players stay with their parents but if that is not possible we will make sure they have a room. We are planning to do several things with the team from Austin so it should be a great trip. Here is the hotel information:
