No better way to show our school spirit by all wearing red as we prepare to destroy Troy High. After we BEAT TC, we can all come back to Athens for a victory celebration on our field. See you at the game!!!

It is hard to believe that our season is quickly coming to an end. It will be great to end our season with a win against Troy High. BEAT THE COLTS!!

We have collected about 1/3 of the players/parents banquet money. (if you have already paid, thank you!)
The 2010 Athens High School Football Awards Banquet is a great event for everyone involved in the 2010 Football Program.
The entire coaching staff strongly encourages all parents to attend.

An additional note:
We are collecting $20 for Varsity Players and Coaching Staff gifts – this can be given to Laura Duzey. Even if you are not attending the banquet, the coaching staff and players have worked VERY hard throughout the season. All players and coaches will be presented a gift.

Saturday, 10-9-10, Practice Schedule

Parents and Players,

This is just a reminder that because the Freshman and J.V. game this week has been moved to Wednesday, we need to have a defensive focused practice from 9:00 a.m. -11:00 a.m. for Freshman and J.V. players only. The Varsity will stick to their normal schedule.

Thanks,

Coach Heppner
