Spring Football Game Re-cap

Saturday seemed to be a huge success for the team, including the equipment staff. This spring has been a little bit more difficult considering most of our practices were at Salpointe High School. For one thing, we practiced at 6am when we went there, then that also meant we had to haul equipment each practice.

The good news is that the managers pulled all of this off with no real problems, and more importantly, no one complained about the extra work, even with having to get to work at 4am for each practice.

Now we start gathering all of the players gear and start getting ready for 2010 season!!!! We will start getting the helmets and shoulder pads ready for reconditioning. We will also clean out lockers and get ready for our new players who will begin arriving in early June!!!!! That is always an exciting time. I know our coaches are very excited about the new players we signed this past February.

Below are some pictures from Saturdays game:
