Game Day Announcements

Well its finally here!  After four weeks of hard work we have our first game of the season.  We will be traveling to play Hartland White.  Here is the address if you are unaware:
 
(old) Hartland High School
9525 E Highland Rd.
Hartland, MI 48353
M-59 one mile west of US-23 on the right hand side.
 
Our game is scheduled to start at 11:00.  All players should be at Hartland, dressed and ready to play by 9:45.  We will start warming up at 10:00.
 
Please note some of the other recent announcements:
(1) From Bob Allen, the MHSAA Head Referee as well as the Head LCAJFL Referee.  Mouth guards must be colored regardless if it has a strap.  No clear mouth guards.  Players cannot play with a clear mouth guard.  The purpose of this is for the safety of the player by helping the officials ensure the players have their mouth guards in place.
 
(2) The Fire Marshal in Hartland has notified us that no parking is allowed against the curb on the east/west side of our parking lot.  The curb has been marked yellow and there are no parking signs posted.  This was a problem last year and the Fire Marshal will be ticketing cars this year that park in this zone.  This zone needs to be kept clear in case there is an emergency. 
 
GO GOLD!!!

Wear your GAME uniforms:
-full pads
-blue game pants
-gold belt
 
We should receive our game jerseys that day.  Please have your practice jersey with you just in case.  If it rains there will be a make up day for pictures but that has not been scheduled.
 
During & following pictures there are the Freshman scrimmages.  At 11:30 there is the POM and Cheer presentation followed by team introductions at 12:00.  This is for all colors, all levels, football and cheer.  At 12:25 our scrimmage time begins.  We will play each color once for 20 minutes each with one bye.  Against each color we will be only offense or only defense.  Our last scrimmage is scheduled to be completed by 2:05.  It is a long day but it is a great time.
 
I've attached the detailed schedules for your reference.  Please let me know if you have any questions.

JV Gold's First Scrimmage Friday @ 6:30

This Friday your JV Gold will have it's first scrimmage against JV White at 6:30 on our practice field.  This will be far from a true game situation but it will be the first chance to see how we're starting to gel as a team.  The kids have been working extremely hard and we are all looking forward to see where we are. 
 
I will not be making announcements like this for all the scrimmages during practices but I thought you'd may be interested in the first one.  The Picture Day/Panther Jamboree which is scheduled for August 23rd will be the best opportunity since we will be scrimmaging each color but the schedule has not yet been provided.  We will keep you advised.
 
GO GOLD!!!

End of Season Party Scheduled

Sunday October 26 @ 4:00pm.
Where: Three Cedars Farm
Cost:    $15.00/family.

That cost is to cover the room rental. We will do it pot luck style but we have plenty of time to work all that out.  Ok, I know this is way early but I am asking that we all save the date.  There will be extra activities available at an additional  cost. I did get us a group discount on the corn maze for a price of $3.00/person.  There also are hay rides and pumpkin picking.  We also get a bonfire pit that they will light for us when we are ready to take the party outside. They also have a very nice playground for out littlest ones to enjoy! It's a fun family place for those who have not been there.
