Bear River

Varsity on Friday at Bear River at 7 pm, winner keeps the Golden Spike.

Bear River doesn't have enough players to play jv and sophomores.  So, we are going to play our juniors and sophomores together here on Thursday.  Freshmen play at Bear River at 4pm Thursday.

Coach G: Our theme this week was "stay together".  What a great example of that displayed at the varsity game.  I saw 11 guys around the ball on offense, defense and special teams. If a player made a mistake it seemed like teammates were there to encourage.  Everyone doing their job with great enthusiasm.  I was impressed with the focus displayed all week.  Keep up the great work!

Clearfield 2012

Varsity game is Friday at 7pm at home.  JV at 2pm and Soph at 4:15 games are also at home, Clearfield is installing a new turf field and it is not completed yet.

It was a great game day atmosphere at the first home game against Weber.  Players played with great energy, smell of BBQ, student section cheering and parents getting their early and leaving late.

CoachG: Great effort this week as a team.  The theme was pedal downhill, or work hard even when it would be easy or acceptable to take a break.  In the games against Clearfield there were times when we could have rested.  I appreciate those who kept "pedaling".  It takes extra focus to train yourself to always do that.  Keep up the great effort!

Football practice

Practice begins on Monday July 30 at 8am at high school.  Practice schedule is as follows: Mon-Friday 8-10 am Mon and Wed. 6-7:30 pm
   -Monday and Tuesday Helmets only
   -Wed - Fri.  Helmets and Sh. Pads
Freshmen will practice at 8am M-F at Middle School

CoachG: It was a great first week of practice.  The journey of becoming a great team has begun.  Each player has a role in making the team great. The heat of Aug is like the sword makers furnace.  When making great swords they had to heat the metal so hot that the impurities would come out, so the sword would be strong and infallible in battle.

Team Conditioning

Strength and speed training is an important part of our off season program and the team is doing a great job of getting stronger.  Keep up the great work.

As we get closer to the start of the season it becomes very important to start conditioning the body to run and be in great shape.  Football is short bursts of energy with a rest in between, therefore, we need to condition for 5 second bursts then 20 to 30 second rests.

Conditioning will be done after the strength workout every day.  It will be lead by seniors and coaches.

The conditioning link above has the basic workouts detailed.
