Mt. Crest in Cancer Awareness Game

We play Mountain Crest this week. Freshmen on Wed at home, JV at Mt Crest on Thursdayat 3:30 and Sophs at home on Thursday at 3:30. Varsity will play a home game again, finally. It is a cancer awareness game sponsored locally. The game is Friday night at 7pm.

Thursday at 7pm will be the team dinner in the commons area at the high school. Thanks again to the parents who make it possible.

CoachG: It was a great Region 5 football game. In a game that close the reasons for the loss can be traced back to many plays. Instead of focusing on the negative things that caused the loss, Winners focus on the great things that were accomplished and get to work making those things even better. When the fist is raised that means that something great is happening. Keep "firing the fist".

Sky View Bobcats

This week we play the Sky View Bobcats.
-Freshmen here on Wednesday at 4:00
-Soph at Sky View at 3:30 on Thursday
-JV here at 3:30 on Thursday
-Varsity at Sky View on Friday at 7pm

CoachG: In close games it becomes the little things that make the biggest difference. It comes down to 3-5 plays that win or lose the game. It is imperative that we treat every play like the one that makes the difference.

Roy and Region 5

This week we play Roy at Roy with the varsity on Friday at 7pm. This is our first Region game. The JV plays at home at 3:30 on Thursday and the Sophs play at Roy at 3:30 on Thursday. The freshmen play Logan on Wed at 3:30 here.

There is no school for students on Wednesday and we will have practice at 2:30.

CoachG: What great energy and effort that was displayed on Friday at Roy. There was definitely "white heat intensity" on display individually and as a team. Now, it is important to be able to control that and we didn't on offense. Continue working hard to improve. I did see some great teammates trying to pick each other up after making mistakes, that is a great example of FIST.

Syracuse at Weber State

This week we play the Syracuse Titans. Soph game is Thursday at home at 3:30pm and JV is at Syracuse at 3:30pm. Freshmen play at Mt Crest on Wednesday at 4pm.

The varsity game is at Weber State at 5pm. It is part of a double header with Davis and Hunter at 8pm.

CoachG: The field looked great with all the purple. We played with great effort. That is a tough way to lose a game. Keep working the process of improving everyday. In evenly matched games like that, it becomes the team that makes the fewest mistakes that wins. Our team doesn't back down from anybody and showed great toughness in that game, I was impressed with the competitiveness and fight.

-Freshmen are Thursday at 4pm here

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!!
