HS Football Week 5


The football season is broken up into four parts: the preseason, non-district play, district play and the playoffs. We have now completed 2 out of the 4 and in many ways it is going to be like starting over for us when we enter district play.  It has certainly been a tough week but we now have a week off to get some things figured out. 

The football season is always a journey and while it may not feel that way and there may be more obstacles in our way we currently have the same record as last season.  For those that are new, last year we went undefeated in district play and advanced to the state semifinals where we lost a very close game to the eventual state champion.  It is always about closing the gap and this team has by no means reached it’s potential.

JV Game
I believe that everyone knows this already but the JV game against Woodlands Christian was canceled because they do not have enough players.  We still have two scheduled with Bay Area and another one with Fort Bend.

Schedule
I know there are a few of you wondering why we play such a tough schedule.  I am actually one of those people as well.  I wanted to share a little insight just in case you are wondering.  First, I had a much easier schedule made and then TAPPS changed its mind on re-alignment and two non-district teams were moved into our district.  Second, we have had a lot of success and earned respect across the state so about 10 teams that I contacted refused to play us. Third, travel and finding teams that will also play JV play a factor. Fourth, scheduling is done in two year blocks so sometimes a tough game this year will be an easier game next year. Fifth, transfer students change everything in TAPPS football. Finally, I do believe that it prepares us for District play and the playoffs so hopefully that holds true this year.

Annual Banquet
There is no varsity game this Friday night so I want to encourage you to come to the school’s Annual Banquet.  It will be a fun evening featuring the Jesus Painter, the comedy of Bob Smiley, a live auction with a long list of great packages for everyone (Hunting Trips, Texan Tickets, Artwork, Week at Disney and much more) and an address from our Head of School, Mr. Novotny.  One project that the banquet will be raising money towards is our weight room and locker room expansion under the grandstand.
