Opening Day was a success!
Thank you to all the volunteers and sponsors for making opening day a success. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day. Thank you also to Duxbury for bringing all their teams down for a great day of scrimmages. Best of luck to them on their season.
A quick recap on the Punt, Pass and Kick competition.
The finalist for the 7-9 year old division were:
Zachary Eaton
Nick Annabell (Duxbury)
Zachary Greeley
Peter Murphy (Duxbury)
Kyle Caraher
Kyle Caraher ended up coming out on top by a total of 2 feet and won an iPod Shuffle in the process.
The finalists for the 10-12 year old division were:
Cory Caraher
Hugh Sims
Michael Crosby
Andrew Parker
Johnny Gomes
Johnny Gomes pulled out the win by just 1 foot, by booming a kickoff 20 feet further than the second place finisher, and took home the iPod Shuffle also.
We had a 2 man showdown for the 13+ division between Frank Gomes and Nick MacFarland. Frank ended up taking the title, in large part thanks to a huge 125 foot pass. In a great show of sportsmanship, Frank ended up giving his iPod Shuffle to Nick after the competition.
It was a great way to end a fun filled day.
Best of luck to all the teams on a successful 2008 season.
Lastly, just a reminder that the 3 "E" level football teams will be having their team and individual pictures taken tonight at practice. If you have any questions, please talk to you coach.

Two Important Reminders
Just a quick reminder about the MANDATORY weigh in tomorrow. Please see the post from a couple days ago about the details, but the buses will leave Forges field at 9:30am sharp tomorrow. If you miss the weigh in, you can't play the first 2 games. This is not our rule, it is a Hockomock League Rule, so please be there on time. We expect the buses to be back around 1pm.
Also, Monday night, the individual and team pictures will be taken of the 3 E level teams. The 3 D level football teams will be done on Tuesday, while the A, B, and C level football teams will be on Wednesday night. You should receive picture forms from your coach. You will need to be in uniform for the pictures. If you have any questions, please ask your coach.
The cheer teams pictures will be scheduled shortly.

Opening Day Schedule-Volunteers Needed!
All, Opening Day is just 4 days away and there is still time to volunteer to help with the day's activities. Please visit the Snack Shack at practice tonight or tomorrow night and ask how you can help.
The day is going to be filled with football and fun.
We are going to start off with a parade of all the football players and cheerleaders at 9am. Your coaches will let you know what time to arrive and where to meet.
At 9:30am, we will have 4 scrimmages going on. Two on the upper field and two on the lower field. At 10:30, there will be one scrimmage on the lower field, with the start of the Punt, Pass, and Kick contest starting on the other side of the field for 7-9 year olds. At the same time, two scrimmages will be going on, on the upper field. At 11:30, the B team will be scrimmaging on the upper field, while the 10-12 year old Punt, Pass, and Kick preliminary round will be down on the lower field. At 12:30, the 13+ Punt, Pass and Kick will start on the lower field, as well as any makeups for late signups or players that couldn't make their earlier times.
At 1:00pm, the top 5 finalists from the 3 divisions will compete on the upper field to crown a winner in the Punt, Pass, and Kick contest. Sign up today at the Snack Shack to participate. Entries are $2 per person for the contest, and an iPod Shuffle will be awarded to the winner in each division!
A special guest from Foxboro will be joining us during the morning as well as Radio Disney, broadcasting live from our own Forges Field. Lunch will be served free to the players, and the whole family can purchase lunch at the field. There will be moonwalks and a dunk tank. Lots to do.
Lastly, Verizon will be on hand and will be taking new signups for Verizon Fios. If you have thought about switching to Verizon, now is the time. Not only will you get this great new service, but you will also receive a $100 gas card, and Verizon will donate $25 to the program for each new subscriber that signs up Sunday.
Any questions, ask at the Snack Shack, ask your coach, or send an email.

Weigh in on August 23rd
So we have just over a week until the offical, MANDATORY weigh in for the league. Hopefully everyone already knows about it, but here are some details.
The weigh in takes place at Brockton High School. Buses will be at Forges Field on Saturday morning to transport all the kids to the weigh in. Only players and coaches are allowed on the buses. Since our weigh in time is 11:15am, we will be leaving on the buses at about 9:45am. All players should plan on arriving at the field by 9:15am or whenever your coach tells you.
The weigh in is conducted in shorts, game shirt, and sneakers. Your child should bring a drink with them for the bus ride, and for the wait outside the school. It can be a long day. After the weigh in, there is a snack bar for food. If you want your child to be able to get something to eat for lunch, please send them with a few dollars.
The buses should get back to Forges Field at about 1:30pm or so.
Again, this is MANDATORY. If your child does not attend, or does not make the required weight limit, they will not be able to play football for the first 2 weeks. At that time, there is a supplemental weigh in that will allow them to be certified to play, as long as they then make the weight.
If you have any questions about this process, please see your coach, email us or leave a comment.

Pictures tonight
During practice tonight, the pictures for the roster books will be taken. If your coach handed out shirts last night, be sure to bring them with you.
Practice at Forges Field tonight as scheduled!
Let's hope the rain holds out. If you are scheduled to practice tonight, we will see you up at the field. Get ready to get muddy.
Dodging Raindrops
Wow, I don't know about you, but I had some big thunderstorms over my house last night/this morning. We will see how mother nature treats us as the day goes on, but check back for any updates later today.
It looked like everyone was working hard at the Jungleplex last night. It's nice to hear the pads smacking again. Keep up the good work. Opening day is less than 2 weeks away.

2008 Season Starts Today
Well, the first day of practice is finally here. Hopefully everyone knows where to go, what team they are on, etc. by now. If not, we will have a table set up to provide information to anyone that needs it starting at around 4:30 or 5:00pm today.
Unless you heard otherwise from your football coach, everyone should arrive for practice today in cleats, shorts, tee shirt, helmet and mouthguard. Also, don't forget to bring a full water bottle to keep hydrated during these dog days of summer practices.
Hopefully everyone is looking forward to tonight as much as we are!
