MS Football Week 5

It was a great win by the A team last week. I really enjoyed watching the film. I was struck by how they overcame penalties and other setbacks to win the game. I was also impressed with how they did not play with any fear despite the fact that John Cooper had some boys that were as big as any we have seen all season. I love how they are playing as a team and having fun. It will be nice to finally take on a school our size in Faith West this week.

Schedule
Scheduling B team football games is always a challenge. Last year Western Academy had two teams and the game was scheduled with the B team and that is what was scheduled for this year. However, this year they have less players and I learned after the game that they only have one team so we played against five 8th graders that did make most of the plays. I wish schools were more up front about such things but that is not a reality. Most of the schools our size only have one team so scheduling is hard. I just wanted you to have a little insight in case you were wondering. I have contacted St. Cecilia about this week’s B game but have not heard anything back yet.

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.
