Hello Football Families,
Congratulations to our freshman and Sophomore team this week as they competed against Valley Center. As I watched our youngsters on Thursday and I could not help but think of this quote from Coach Wooden:

“Be concerned with your preparation, not theirs; your execution, not theirs; your effort and desire, not theirs. Don’t worry about them. Let them worry about you. Don’t focus on the score, focus on what you’re doing and give your best.”

So this week during our practices as we prepare for this weeks game and opportunity let us all work on bring great attitudes, great effort, and great focus and have our best week of practice yet as we continue to learn to “Play as One.”

Watch Coach Wooden share on Winning and Success!

Play as One!
