Important Info for Football Players and Parents from Coach Gilchrist

Dear Hornet Football Player,
I hope you are having a restful summer and you are as exited to get this football season started as we are! We have averaged over 90 kids a day at our Stinger course and we hope that you are one of these kids taking advantage of this opportunity. If not we still have 2 weeks left of Stinger course July 16 th – July 26th. The course has two sessions (8:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.). Stinger course is a great opportunity to get you ready for this upcoming season. We are ready to take this program to a level that it has not seen before and being involved in Stinger course is a great way to help us reach that level.

Here are some important upcoming dates for you and your parents:
Aug 3rd   Parent Meeting (High School Gym)  6:00 p.m.
Aug 6th    1st Practice – Grades (9-12)   7:00 a.m.
Aug 9th   Midnight Madness (Hornet Field) 11:00 p.m.
Aug 11th   Picture Day  (Hornet Field)  7:45 a.m.

Aug  23rd    2nd Scrimmage (vs Trinity)   TBA

Another reminder for all incoming 7th, 9th, and 11th graders, you must have a physical before the first day of practice. Parents please see to it that your son is ready to practice on the first day. If you need the forms, you can find them on the school website under the athletics tab or you may come up and get on them in the coaches' office.

We can’t wait to get this season started! Be ready to go when you report on August 6th, 7:00 a.m. sharp!
Thanks,
Coach Gilchrist
Go Hornets!!
