HS Football Week 11 - Playoffs

It was another great win to close out the season and give the seniors a final win at home.  We have continued to make great progress the last several weeks and I am looking forward to that continuing into the playoffs.  Please encourage your son to watch a little film so they can be prepared for practice and the challenge that awaits us as we take on a very good team from Marble Falls in Faith Academy.  The changes that TAPPS made this season insure that every playoff team is a good one, so it will be an exciting trip this Friday.

Weekly Theme- Courage

Psalm 23 “The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”

Directions

1511 Pony Drive Marble Falls, TX 78654, Click here for driving directions.

There is a large Formula 1 race in Austin on Sunday and traffic is expected to be bad all weekend. While players and families are welcome to spend the night this is also a factor in making the decision to return home that night.

Charter Buses

We are planning to take a charter bus again.  We are also exploring the idea of taking one and maybe two charter fan busses.  We believe that the cost on the fan bus may be in the range of $25 to $30 per person if we could fill it.  If you would be interested in riding a fan bus please let me know.  If you would like to help offset the cost of the player charter that is also greatly appreciated.

Grade Check

Grade check will be on Tuesday.  I have talked with several players that are in the danger zone.  Please check RenWeb to make sure your son has everything in.

Playoffs - Thanksgiving

If we win our first round playoff game we will practice Monday and Tuesday at our normal times, Wednesday morning and then again on Friday afternoon.  We will not practice on Thanksgiving and are trying to provide the most time around Thanksgiving Day for people to travel. A second round game would most likely be in Giddings on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.
