Friday Morning Camp at Neveda

Parents,

I talked to the National Guard and it is okay if you come up Friday morning to watch the team action against Neveda. We will begin that morning's practice at 8:30 and line up against Neveda at 9 to 9:30 range. This event is sponsored by the U.S. National Guard so be sure to give them some love!

Camp Clark

Parents,

Tuesday night we will have a short meeting at 6:00 pm in the high school atrium to discuss Camp Clark and the specifics of it. Please have at least one parent/guardian in attendance. Just a reminder that the cost is 130.00 dollars for the 5 days. If you have questions, please contact me.

Thanks

New Practice Field

Coach Flannigan and the Neosho Wildcat Football staff and players would like to thank all the people that came together to build the football practice field. What amazing things can be done when we come together! A small discussion on Tuesday night led to installing sod on Thursday evening. It took less than 36 hours from first mention until it was approved, ordered, and installed.

Special Thanks to The Friends of Neosho Youth Football, The Friends of Neosho Football, Family Market, Competitor's Wearhouse, Bunch Construction Company, The Neosho Fire Department, The City of Neosho, and all the people that put their hands or money into that dirt on Thursday. There are many others that wish to remain in the shadows, but that were vital to this project. You are not forgotten and your work is appreciated!

New Practice Field - Workers Needed

Below is an email for Neosho Youth Football President Mike Spiva. I would like to extend a sincere thank you to all the donors that made this possible. It will make our practice facility much better than its current state. I hope to see everyone there tomorrow.

Coach Flan


Good afternoon—

As many of you that drive the boulevard daily are aware, our High School practice field is in the process of being re-graded and re-seeded and the process has been moving a bit slowly. Some people have come forward and offered to donate 30,000 SQ FT of sod---which will cover the entire 100 yard practice field in length and approx 30 yards in width. This has come together very quickly—since yesterday in fact, and needs to be done ASAP so that we have 4-5 weeks to get the sod to take root prior to the HS players practicing on it. Anyway, the sod is being delivered at 4PM Thursday, July 2 and we have approx 12 volunteers committed to help. As of this afternoon the HS players have jumped on-board and are recruiting players to assist and the coaches may be on-hand as well. If you are available and willing to help please plan to be at the Rock Garden around 4 PM tomorrow---bring a rake and a shovel if you have them. It will be hot and dirty and we may work until late---it has to be done once we begin! The support has been overwhelming today and the more we have on-hand the quicker and smoother this will go. Family Market will be serving sandwiches to workers for dinner courtesy of Les and his crew. I know this is late notice and will be hard work---many of you are already planning to be there and have assisted in getting us to this point---thank! Anyone else who is available is certainly invited---I think you will be impressed at the support you will see tomorrow! It is a great way to show our support to the school and specifically to the Coaches, players and AD who do so much for us…

No need to call me on this and it is certainly not mandatory…just wanted to let you know that there will be a LARGE group there and I think it will be something special…thanks.

Moms' Breakfast
We are grateful for the women in our lives that support us and allow us to do what we love: football! This is our little way of saying thanks by cooking a little breakfast for them. I hope all moms enjoyed the food and the Football 101 class that followed. Hopefully no one walked away hungry in belly or brain! Thanks again.
