West Awards Night

Just a reminder to everyone that our West Awards Night will be this Wednesday at 7 pm in the auditorium. This will be the first year that all levels will be together. Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

Mrs. Aubry

I wanted to make sure I put out a huge THANK YOU to Mrs. Aubry for all she has done for the team this year. Mrs. Aubry has done so much for our team starting in the summer when we transformed our locker room into the greatest locker room in the state. She painted, cleaned, and made sure everything was perfect before our guys saw the locker room the first time early in the summer. She was then our trainer, camera person, and videographer for our Lorado Taft football camp. She spends hours putting together our highlight films for the camp and the season. Then when the season does get here she is the one who makes the contacts to get the Saturday morning breakfasts together and the Friday game day snack sacks. She also organizes meals for the coaches when we are spending our late night Mondays prepping for the next week’s opponent. She does all this with two young kids in elementary school and one freshman who is on the Varsity cheer squad here at West. Picking up and dropping off the kids while her husband is not around for apparent reasons. For all this, the coaches, the players, and I would like to say, once again, a HUGE THANK YOU to Mrs. Aubry.

Texas Roadhouse Extra Effort Award Part II

The boys had a great time at Texas Roadhouse last night smashin' some great food. Once again we would like to thank Mark Ittersagen who set this up for our team and also Texas Roadhouse who fed our guys. These four guys went the extra step this past season and made things happen not only on the game field, but also on the practice field. Thanks again guys! Until next year, GO TIGERS!

HF Game

Week 9 was a very interesting week for the guys. We had a good week of practice and I think the guys really enjoyed their last week of the season. We asked the guys to FINISH the season with a Bang and they really did. I wish we would have started the game how we finished. The boys played their hearts out! And they did FINISH with a bang! I do not think anybody saw this type of game coming. I am very proud of the boys and am very grateful for the hard work that they put into this season.

I would like to also say a huge thank you to all the parents who helped with the snack sacks and Saturday morning breakfasts. The boys and coaches really appreciated all the hard work you put into this season.
