Good evening Mustang Football Family:
Our program had two impressive wins this past week, with Varsity winning 48-7 and our Freshmen winning 47-0. Unfortunately CHS had to cancel their JV game due to injuries, and we were unable to find a replacement. I am very sorry that our JV boys didn’t get to compete.
Varsity is starting to find our groove- as coaches and players- and if we continue to improve , focus on our collective improvement, and embrace a team first culture, I am confident we will be a very successful team that can make a run at the league title and into the playoffs.
We have another tough opponent this week in Dakota Ridge. Depending on the poll, they are 2 or 3 in 4A, and a challenging game to open our league play….which is just how we like it. I am confident that our boys will prepare like champions all week and it should be a great game (and finally a home game on a FRIDAY).
Now is a great time to make sure your player is staying on top of his grades. October 11th they will be running grade checks and any player who is NOT passing FIVE classes (Access does not count) will be deemed ineligible for the remainder of our season and the start of any winter sports. Please don’t wait until the last minute to get grades up- the time to improve them , if needed, is now. We will be communicating with your player if he is in danger of failing off the team.
