weekly update

Well the week went weel considering we practiced at town hall all week. It was productive all the way around. Our offense is starting to really look good and our defense is catching on.

The scrimmage saturday was a great gauge of where we are at. The coaches and I were really pleased with our offense against Nicolet and Grafton and We think the boys were just a little gassed by the Brown Deer scrimmage. We have some things to clean up yet and work to do but we are ready for that challenge. I hope all the boys that were nicked up are o.k. I hope all the boys that were knicked up are o.k. I will check with them 1st thing monday at practice. We also hope the boys had some fun in their 1st action of the year.

This is a busy week for all of us. We have practice monday, tuesday, thursday, & saturday back at the H.S. practice fields. Also wednesday is another scrimmage at Germantown be there by 4:30. And friday is youth night at the varsirty game, I would really like to see 100% attendance by our team, we get to go on the field and be introduced. I also will select 2 boys from our team in a random drawing to be water boys for this game. I wll do this monday so you can make plans. We also get to toss T-shirts to the crowd, so I think this could be a fun time for all. Hope to see all of you there.

Well I will update you thursday after wed. scrimmage.

Till then see ya.

oooops!!!!!!!!!!

Well I apologize again for the miscommunication yesterday regarding the scrimmage. But we were able to have a very productve intersquad scrimmage ourselves. The coaches and myself are pleased with our progress, our running game is coming along well, the O-line is looking very strong, and our passing game is starting to look better as well. Defensively we are improving everytime we get to line up so that is very encouraging. We are running a little different system than the boys played last year so there was a bit of a curve in learning, plus losing last saturday set us a bit behind , but the coaches feel we are getting there pretty quick. So I guess I am just relaying to you that as a whole, our team is looking solid.

Don't forget I need any fundraiser packets that have not been returned yet, to be returned by monday.

We WILL be scrimmaging this saturday in Grafton for sure. Be there by 8:00 a.m.

Aug. 25th is picture night so remember to wear our home game jerseys and pants. We will be given them sometime before tuesday the 25th.

Also don't forget to check the website, all this information is on the home page there as well.

On Aug. 28th it is youth night at the varsity game so we want all our boys there. The players and coaches will get to take a parade lap in front of the crowd to introduce ourselves to the fans and select boys will get to throw T-shirts to the crowd (that is an acticvity we will do at all varsity home games and we will select different boys each week). So I hope we can get a full turnout (the boys get in free if they are wearing there home jersey)

And finally I just want to take a quick minute to thank my coaching staff. without John, Greg, Mike , & Tim our team would not be as strong or as far along as we are. They are talented coaches and are making our first 2 weeks very enjoyable from a coaching standpoint. So if you get a chance just thank them, a lot of hours are being put in off the field by us and I just want them to know we as parents appreciate that. I know I do. So thanks guys.

Til next time see ya'

rainout

Well, unfortunately we didn't get to practice yesterday, so we will be going a little longer each night to maximize our ability to teach the boys the new offense.

I wanted to make sure everyone brings plenty of liquids to stay hydrated.

FULL PADS, contact starts monday.

We will most likely figure out monday who should move up to 8th grade. They would like at least 6 players, more would be better. The boys that we move up are obviously big enough to handle the 8th grade game. We have had some boys talk to the 8th grade coaches already and now we'll see if any of them would be willing to move up. I will then contact those parents. The advantage for the boys is definately playing time, for example, the 8th grade doesn't have enough lineman, those 7th graders who move up would play quite a bit, as opposed to our team where we have 15-17 lineman. So we'll see what happens. I'll keep you posted.

well that's all for now, we'll see all of you tommorrow.

week of 8 - 3 - 09

Hi again. So far so good. The coaches and I are very pleased with our progress. We have installed 4 run plays and 2 pass plays and almost everyone remembers their asignments, very encouraging for week 1. We will be installing a few more plays starting monday and as they keep absorbing the new info we will install more.

We are pleased to have Brad Walsh helping us with our QB's. Brad is the son of coach Walsh on our staff and is a QB on Hartford's JV squad. An added bonus.

We are currently looking for someone willing and or able to videotape our games for us. Anyone interested just let me know.

Also coach Whitemore (6th grade Orange) and I are looking for volunteers to assist us in our marketing ventures. To start with in particular, some help with game day activities since we will be busy coaching our teams to victories. Anyone interested in this or in need of more info just let me know or call me.

I am excited for saturday since we get to begin full contact later in the practice. Always and exciting time.

REMEMBER TO HAVE THE BOYS BEGIN WEARING FULL PRACTICE PADS ON 8-8-09.

Thanks for your support and I will see everyone tommorrow.

New season

I'd like to take this oppotunity to thank everyone for being at our parent picinic. My goal for the parents is to stay as informed as I can keep you throughout the year.

Our 1st practice went well. After discussing everything with the coaches we are excited to get going with the boys and look forward to a great year.

Just a reminder to check here as often as possible. I will update at least once a week.

Don't forget to get to practice as early as possible, we only need helmets, mouthguards, white jerseys and plenty of water, It is supposed to be more humid and in the mid 80's on monday and tuesday.

See you all on monday.
