HUGE SABERCAT THANK YOU

Tough Night

Last night was a tough go for all of us, but we MUST move forward. The great thing about sports is that YOU have the opportunity to go back to work right away and go out and compete again. One regular season opening game does not determine a season, either way. But your ATTITUDES will!! Believe in yourselves and your teammates and prepare yourselves to get better this week.

Windsor Wizard Week


Camp is now over. We are now in season. It is imperative to make each day count in preparation for Friday nights battle. Each practice has to be crisp with attention to detail. There is much work to do this week. At home, in the classroom and on the practice field. Everyday preparing yourself mentally and physically, building up to a crescendo that will be ready to explode at 7pm on Friday night.

Make no mistake, Windsor wants to win the game badly. Last year they upset a 4A team in the season opener and would love to do it again. ( They sent 4 coaches to Loveland to scout your scrimmage.)

FACT: No Fossil Ridge football team has ever won their season opener.

BE THE FIRST!!!!

SABERCATS READ TO KIDS AT READERS COVE


Thanks to all the SaberCats who took time out of their Saturday to read to kids at Reader's Cove bookstore. You once again put your best foot forward as representatives of the Fossil Ridge Football program. Thanks Guys, and a special thanks to all the boosters and parents who supported the event.


Coach Lefort












IT'S ALWAYS FUN TO HIT SOMEONE ELSE



Friday night it appeared that everyone was ready to start hitting someone other than thier teammates . You came ready to play and showed the promise of what kind of team you CAN and WILL be. Improvement throughout the week was evident by your play. Thanks to Mountain View, Wheat Ridge and Stadley Lake for some great competition on the field.

A New Era in SaberCat Football has begun

The effort shown on the practice field this two-a-days was outstanding. You continued to work hard and improve with each practice. The scrimmage on Saturday (through the pouring rain) showed us highlights of the team we can be. Yet it also provided plenty of opportunities for us to get better. Pursuit and tackling are major areas of improvement that needs to be addressed before we take on Windsor. The Wizards are an improving program and would like nothing better than to come in to our house and leave with a victory.
As you prepare to begin classes this week make sure to organize and prepare yourself for both the work in the classroom and on the field. We have a huge week of work ahead of us. The scrimmages on Friday should be an outstanding chance to learn by competing against some solid football teams. (Wheat Ridge, 2006 AAAA State Champions) Here's to a great week of work.
