Coach Beck’s update:
Dear Parents and Players:
Congratulations to our two All-State Football Players!
Senior, Max von Arx - OLB
Junior, Jayden Moses - ILB
We have had quite a few of our players working hard in Rugby, Wrestling and Basketball this winter. Participating in multiple sports is a key element in a player's development. All of our returning lineman starters are wrestling for example. The sacrifice and dedication will pay big dividends next season.
We have had a number of schools stop in and visit our campus so far this year or are scheduled to make a visit: UCLA / Oregon State University / Western Oregon University / Central Washington University / Weber State University / Southern Oregon University / Whitworth University / Lewis and Clark University and Pacific University.
Players are reminded to work hard on their academics as we inch closer to the end of the semester. If you need help...PLEASE let myself, Coach Melson or Dyer know - and we can find you the support you need.
A shout out also to the younger players that have been working diligently and consistently with Coach Melson after school. You are getting the very best training - it will definitely pay off in your development!
A few players have stopped by to go over their football evaluation. Please stop in and see Coach Beck if you have not done so already. This is for ALL returning players! (Freshmen - Juniors) (There are 12 categories that are evaluated...for example: academics - physicality - dedication - etc.).
We are excited to watch some of our skill guys as they get ready to participate in the annual 7 on 7 circuit competitions. Good luck to those participants!
If a player or parent has any questions - please contact me.
