KSL is bringing Game Night Live to Box Elder for this game

CoachG: It was an exciting night Friday with the KSL Game Night and Battle for Golden Spike on the line. We played with great effort and determination. The theme this week was "do your job" I felt like everyone did their job all week with great focus. School started and it was a great week of work in preparation. This was another example of a team win. Scout team was focused and working hard all week. Box Elder Football is every man doing his job to the best of his ability. The hive was strong and the bees were strong!!

Week 2 Clearfield

This week is first game for Sophs and JV. They will play on Thursday at 3:30.

The JV is at home and the Sophs are at Clearfield.

The varsity will play Friday at Clearfield at 7pm.

CoachG: Great week of overcoming adversity. We talk about the refiner's fire, this week the heat made it feel like we were in it. Excellent job on Friday night of taking a teams best and staying focused. Great example in the second half of finishing! Things don't always go our way and it is important to stay focused and keep working together. FIST!

Weber and Mom's Night

Wednesday night was Mom's night. Thank you to all the Mom's who came and participated. It is awesome to see the players trying to coach their mothers.

CoachG:Friday night was a great start to the season. It was a great team win. Many players were able to contribute to the team success. Our theme through the summer was "strength of the bee is the hive and the strength of the hive is the bee". That was evident on Friday with the individual players sacrificing and doing their job for the glory of the team. It was also amazing that we had more fans than Weber and that is a tribute to the support of our community. Go Bees!!

Packets are due

Please make sure that you get you packets in to Coach Peterson, BEHS Athletic Director.

There has been confusion on the fundraisers. The boys were told that they can't use those towards their district fees unless they talk to Coach Gunter. Some of the boys forgot to tell their parents the last part of that statement and it has caused some confusion. If your son has raised money for their district fees through a fundraiser please have them talk to Coach Gunter to verify the amount.

Purple and White Aug 12 6pm

The annual Purple and White game will be held at Ferguson Field on Friday Aug. 12. The sophomores against the freshmen game will start at 6pm and the varsity game will begin at 7pm. There will be concessions with hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks, etc.. and the parent group will feed the players after the game. Check the Purple and White page for more information.

CoachG: Thank you to all who helped with the Purple and White. A special thanks to Vicki Werling and Burton Withey and their crews. It was a great success on the field and off. It takes great parents to run a great football program and we have great parents. The players showed great effort and are starting to come together as a team. The meal for the players was great after and the hospitality of the parents serving and working was amazing. I am looking forward to an exciting and successful season.
