SABERCAT THANK YOU/ HELP WANTED

A big SaberCat thank you goes out to the Carrells, Hitchcocks and the Salisburys for hosting the first pre-game meal. The team feasted on a Mexican themed menu of tacos and nachos and then retreated to the rec room for some lively games of billiards. The team and the coaching staff greatly appreciate all the hard work put into these fun get togethers.
If anyone is interested in pitching in to help with or hosting any of the remaining pre-game meals ( there are still 6 dates available) please contact Jane Beard at 227-6002. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you give the team.

LEAVING FOSSIL AT 2

The buses will be leaving Fossil Ridge at 2pm on August 30th for the game at Rock Canyon.
Freshmen will be excused at 1:30 and everyone else at 1:45. Freshman must provide their own transportation to meet the bus.
Have a great day,
Coach Lefort

GAME TIME IS HERE

Over the next 48 hours you should focus on what you need to do as an individual to help the team achieve our goal of a victory at Rock Canyon. Remember that Rock Canyon came up to French Field and took home a victory last year to kickoff the season. You must look to return the favor to the Jaguars on their home field of Shea Stadium. The Jaguars are a quality team( 7-3) last season and will find them selves in the hunt for the Central Metro League title by the end of the season. It will take a great team effort from everyone who dawns the Green, Silver and Black to bring home a victory Thursday evening. DIAL IT IN.
Coach Lefort

A HUGE SABERCAT THANK YOU

Wow!!! What an evening! Thank you to the Fossil Ridge Football Family for the what was a great time. Only at Fossil Ridge would there be a spread put out like that. Many thanks to the boosters for their hard work in organizing such a nice event for the Fossil Ridge football family. A special thanks to the Beard family for opening up the "Beard Ranch" and its beautiful setting to host all of us. Like I have told the players before, we are blessed with the best group of parents/booster in the world. You all are a huge part of the "Family" and make coaching at Fossil Ridge a joy.

STEPPING UP vs MONARCH

The effort and attitude on the field Friday was tremendous. We learned that we can play with an outstanding team like Monarch High School. We went toe to toe with as good as program as Fossil Ridge has ever met on the football field. Make no mistake, the Monarch Coyotes are one of the top teams in Colorado and will contend for a 4A State Championship this fall. There is much work to do this week. Preparation breeds confidence and confidence breeds success. Lets have a great week of preparation. KEEP PAYING THE PRICE, BECAUSE CHAMPIONS PAY THE PRICE.
Coach Lefort

SABERCATS VS COYOTES

Congratulations on a successful Two a Days camp. It is now time to begin the fun part for everyone, players, coaches and fans.
The scrimmage games give the coaches a chance to see how players perform under the pressure of a game like situation. Some players have stood out and made huge impressions based on their performances in these games, and tomorrow will be no different.
Monarch High has one of the top programs in the state and will definitely bring an excellent team to SaberCat Field. Prepare yourself mentally and physically and have a great time Friday night.
Coach Lefort

SABERCAT THANK YOU

A SaberCat thank you goes out to our friends from Timberline Church. In particular to Jason and Reza for providing the watermelon feed for the team last night. Its hard to beat cold watermelon on a hot "two a days" afternoon.
We would also like to thank Mike Rushing for taking the players pictures for the game programs and the proud parent buttons.
Thanks Guys!!
Coach Lefort

ATTITUDE AND EFFORT

The attitude and effort from all of the players has been tremendous throughout the first few days of camp, and the Coaching Staff greatly appreciates that. These are the key factors in progressing forward as a team. Assignments, techniques, conditioning and intensity need to be continually solidified and improved with each and every rep on the practice field. Make sure your equipment is correctly fitted and ready to go for contact. We have the best equipment available, but you have to have it fitted correctly.
KEEP PAYING THE PRICE, BECAUSE CHAMPIONS PAY THE PRICE.

LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED

Two a days have arrived and it is time to kickoff the 2007 edition of SaberCat Football. You have made the off-season commitments and seen the hard work pay off in the weight room and on the field. Now it is time to have it all come together over the next two weeks in preparation for Rock Canyon, and the rest of the schedule that lies ahead of us this fall.
This season promises to be an exciting one for SaberCat football but we need to stay focused on the goals and what it will take to get there. We will need you to prepare yourself mentally, physically and emotionally for the what lies ahead. You need to study your playbooks, know your assignments, and provide your bodies with the proper rest and nutrition. Your complete focus must be on what you need do to help SaberCat Football have an outstanding season. Have a great camp.
Coach Lefort

REST IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE PROGRAM

I hope that everyone had a restful and enjoyable week away from the campus. It is imperative to provide our minds and bodies with the proper amount of rest so that they are able to perform at the levels that we are going to need them to during the next few weeks. My family and I had the

opportunity to spend a couple of weeks in some of the most beautiful places on Earth. They are all right here in our home state of Colorado. We are truly blessed to live in such an awesome place.

We spent some time in Breckenridge, Vail and Beaver Creek, all amazing places.

I also spent a little quality time in the rivers with a few of my friends, Bows and Browns.
