Dear Cougar Players and Parents,
It’s time once again to prepare for the 2015 season. This season brings high
expectation for all of us. We have 17 of 22 starters returning as well as 19 seniors. I
have always believed that our team is only as strong as its senior class. I expect
great leadership from this years seniors! Our captains, Bradley Anderson and
Devante Clark, will be expected to take charge of this senior lead team.
Our motto for 2015, “TCB”…Toughness, Confidence, Believe…is something that we
all need to work hard to develop. It will take all of these things for us to reach our
goal as North Piedmont Conference Champions! In order for this to happen we all
must make the commitment to prepare by participating in all the pre-season
opportunities that are offered. The calendar that is included in this packet will take
you from spring practice to the first two games. Please keep in mind that some
dates/activities could change due to the fact that it is very difficult to be completely
accurate in all plans six months in advance. We will all need to be flexible if
necessary.
Keep up with this calendar for summer reference. We need all of you to participate
in as many of these workouts as possible. Take vacations with your families and do
your best to plan your work schedules around our team workouts. You must be in
the best shape possible by August 1!! Below is a list of important dates and events
that you need to be sure to remember.
Spring Practice – May 18 - June 3 - This will be for both JV and Varsity teams. There
will be no 21-player rule this year and we are allowed to have all players
participating.
Wofford Offensive Camp June 14-16 – The cost is $275 and this camp is for both jv
and varsity players. We will take a bus to and from camp. I encourage you to apply
for assistance through the “Robin’s Run” foundation.
Mini Camp – July 27-29 – This is for Varsity players only and we will travel to
Western Carolina University in Cullowhee N.C. The cost will be $180 per player and
all varsity players who participated in the mattress sale will receive financial
assistance. I hope that all varsity players will make plans to attend mini camp. This
is very important to our team’s success!
Please pay close attention to all the events listed on the calendar, especially the
dates for physicals. It is an NCHSAA rule that you must now have a current physical
in order to participate in summer workouts as well as the regular season. Make sure
you take care of this. Championships are not won August through November…they
are won January through July!!
Get excited!!!
