Today 8/24/20 – from Steve Jorgensen – Head Football Coach 

“The County Health shut down High Risk Sports until October 1st. We did not anticipate this at all. This was shortly followed by the School District shutting down All Fall sports. We have no choice but to pursue the Spring option as a Football program. Disappointing. Players have been working daily all year and the protocol has worked all Summer. Many obstacles we will overcome this Spring. With that said we will do all we can to provide our Seniors the best season possible when the time comes.”
