Highlight DVD

An awesome highlight DVD has been made of this past season including everyone on the team from Freshmen through Senior.  It is for sale at $20 per dvd.  It will make a great Christmas present and will be a wonderful souvenir of the high school football experience.  It can purchased from Coach Gunter at the high school.

College Recruiting Seminar

On Wednesday Nov. 30 at 7pm at the Box Elder High School Auditorium there will be a seminar put on by Paul Putnam.  "College Recruiting Simplified" which is sponsored by NFL Players Assoc. and ESPNrise.  He is a national college recruiting speaker.  It is recommended for any players who are planning to play college football and also for their parents.  It is very educational and he will give each player/parents who attend access to a website that will give more information about the recruiting process.  It is a 1 hour seminar and Paul will be available after to answer questions from players and parents.

Note: Because of the purple and white wrestling match there will be a second seminar at 8:30 for the wrestlers and volleyball players, who are having their banquet.  He will shorten it and will be available after to answer questions.

Banquet on December 5th

The 2011 football banquet will be at the commons area in the high school at 6:30 pm.  There will be dinner and a program honoring the football team.  It is $7 per person.  Please RSVP to Coach Gunter by Nov 22.

End of Season

It was a tough way to end the season but what a wonderful group of young men that represented our school and community this season.  Thanks to our seniors and their efforts over the past 4 years for Box Elder Football.  We wish them the best and are grateful for the legacy that they leave.  The juniors now have to prepare themselves to carry the torch.  Don't waste one day in your off season preparation.  It goes by fast, just ask the seniors.

Stay tuned to this blog for details of the end of season banquet and post season awards as they come out.

Thanks to the wonderful people who helped make this another successful football season.

Pocatello and Fall Break

We play Pocatello at home on Thursday with the Varsity.  On Wednesday the Freshmen play at 4pm and JV, which includes the sophomores, play at 6pm.  The games are at Irving Jr. High.

There is no school on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday because of Fall Break.  The team meal will be breakfast instead of dinner this week.

CoachG: What a fun week of football.  No school and just football, it is like being a professional football player.  Great job on the road in Pocatello of representing not only Box Elder but the state of Utah against one of Idaho's best.  Thursday was a physical game that was won by making the fewest mistakes and playing with great energy and competing.  The "FISTs" were flying.

Logan

We play Logan this week at Logan on Friday.  The JV plays at home at 3:30 on Thursday and the Sophs play at Logan at 3:30 on Thursday.  The Freshmen play on Wednesday at 4pm at Logan.

CoachG:  Nice job of competing and never giving up or giving in.  The game plan was to make them earn everything and put pressure on them by shortening the game and controlling the ball.  While there were mistakes made, it was a great job of not backing down and fighting through adversity.  The "hive" was loud and disruptive.

Bonneville and Homecoming

Varsity plays Bonneville on Friday at 7pm for the 2011 Homecoming Game. On Thursday the Sophs play at home at 3:30pm and JV plays at Bonneville at 3:30pm.

The team dinner will be Thursday at 7pm following the practice. It is also the second half of senior faculty appreciation this week. Seniors honor the great teachers and influences they have had here at Box Elder.

CoachG: It was great to win a game at the end.  It showed great character to overcome the many obstacles and adversity throughout the week and game.  Keep working the process of being a champion. FIST was evident again, especially spirited teamwork.
