Fremont and Homecoming Week

Homecoming is a week filled with activities for the student body but the football team has one job and that is to prepare to play their best on Thursday and Friday. "Mighty as one, Invicible Together" is the theme for homecoming and the football team is using that theme also.
Games: Varsity at home, JV at Fremont, Soph at home.

Coach G: It was an excellent week of practice. There was an incredible amount of school spirit all week in and around the school which culminated at the football game with our great student body creating energy from the stands. Each player did their job to make the team "invincible together!" There is a growing expectation of excellence from each player that leads to improvement each week. It was impressive to see so many players (winners) helping at the "Buddy Walk" on Saturday.

Clearfield Week

Sophomores and Varsity are at Clearfield. JV at home vs. Clearfield.
Notes: Team and individual pictures were handed out last week. There are still some in the office.
Next week is Homecoming.
Sweats arrived last week for those who ordered them.

Coach G: The goal was to be more physical this week. It was a great week of practice and an awesome finish with 3, 4 and outs by the D and 4 TDs by the O. There is still plenty of work to do to put a complete game together but this team has heart.

Syracuse Week and Little Vikes

This week we play the Syracuse Titans (varsity at home on Friday). This is also the week that the boys who came to our annual Little Vikings Football Camp get into the game free. To do that the players must be accompanied by an adult to the East side (visitors) ticket booth. Each player who came to camp is on a Pass List. Go Vikes!!

Coach G: Football is a process. The master archer seeks not the target but to become the bow, is about focusing on the process over the product. Belief and urgency are 2 lessons we learned this week in a great game against an excellent Syracuse team. The defense played with great urgency and belief in themselves all game but it took until the final drive for the offense to show its greatness. We are "becoming the bow".

Bountiful Week and Food Drive

This week we play Bountiful. Thursday at 3:30 the Sophomores play at Home and the JV plays at Bountiful. Friday the Varsity plays at 7:00 at Home. What a great week to be a Viking! Along with the game there is a Food Drive sponsored by the football team. "Fill the Truck" is the theme, there will be trucks at the entrance to the football game on Friday. Bring canned food items to put in the truck. On Saturday the football players will go to the food bank to donate and stock the food.

Coach G: We don't focus on winning. We focus on being winners, that is something we can control in everything we do. An example of being a winner was the food drive. The football team delivered food and money to the food bank on Saturday morning.

Lone Peak doubleheader

This week we play Lone Peak. Thursday is a doubleheader with the JV going at 3:30 and the Sophomores playing at 5:30 (or 20 min. after JV game) Both games will be held at Viking Field. It is the first game for both teams.

Friday the varsity will still play at Lone Peak at 7:00pm. Team Dinner will be Friday at 2:30 in cafeteria (remember: the team dinner is for soph - senior)

Orem Game Week

After all the work and sacrifice of the offseason it is finally "Game Week". The game is at Orem at 7pm on Friday. Practice this week is at 6-8pm Monday - Thursday. Friday we will have the team dinner at 2:30, team mtg in commons at 4:00 and bus leaves at 4:30. Team dinner is for everyone Sophomore through Senior.

Little Vikings Camp

The 2008 Little Vikings Camp was a great success. Thanks again to all who participated. The high school players had a great time and did a fantastic job of coaching.

The kids were coached by the high school players. They were split up into groups by ages.

Each practice there was an obstacle course relay that was a highlight to most.

We ended each practice with the kids following Mason Boddy in a cheer.
