Clearfield and weather

We play Clearfield with the Varsity at home on Friday night at 7pm.  They are a non region opponent from the 6A classification.

Because of the weather last week the scheduled track installment was not done and they have postponed for this week and next. This means that we can't play any subvarsity games at our field.  We have rescheduled them to Clearfield.

The JV will play at 3:30 and Sophs right after on Thursday at Clearfield.

The Freshmen have a game against Alta and that will be played at Box Elder Middle School at 4 pm on Wednesday.

CoachG: This week our theme was FIST and we saw a lot of them flying high after great plays on Friday night.  FIST stands for Focused Intensity, Spirited Teamwork.  By raising the fist in the air after a great play each player is recognizing the team instead of drawing attention to themselves. Our focus this week was by helping others succeed it will in turn help everyone succeed.

Bountiful and Region 5

Region 5 football begins this week against Bountiful.  It is also Homecoming!

Varsity plays Friday night at Ferguson Field at 7pm
JV plays at Bountiful, Sophs play at home, both are 3:30pm Thursday
Freshmen play Pleasant Grove on Wed at 4pm at Ferguson Field

CoachG: This week our theme was the poem Invictus by William Ernest Henley.  We focused on controlling what we can control.  As a team we did not do that very well on Friday night. The sophomores did a good job of it on Thursday. We need to have more confidence and trust individually in ourselves. We need to continue to work the process of improvement.

Pocatello

Finally a Home Game!!
Varsity plays Pocatello on Friday at 7pm at Ferguson Field
Freshmen play at Pocatello at 4:30pm and JV play right after, around 6:30, on Thursday.

Pocatello doesn't have a football field at their high school. We play them at Irving Jr High football field.

Notes: There is not a sophomore game this week.  Some of the sophomores will be traveling to play with the JV on Thursday.

There is practice Monday morning at 8.

A simple way to get to Irving Jr High is to take the Pocatello Center St/Clark St exit.  Take Clark street, a one way, all the way downtown.  You will go through a tunnel on center street, continue until Grant. Take a right on Grant, about 5-6 blocks, to Irving.  The field is West of the school, behind it.

CoachG: This week our theme was Trust.  As a team we have to respect each other then learn to trust each other.  We also focused on trusting ourselves and our training.  There were many great examples of trust in the games this week.  Players work hard and their teammates know that they can trust them to do their job.  It makes everyone's job simpler.
