Week two updates

Hello Football Families,

Welcome to Week 2 of the season! While last week’s game was a tough loss, we were thrilled to see how much growth there has been since practice started. The progress is undeniable, and we’re excited to keep building on it!

This week, both squads will face off against Hood River:

  • Varsity: Our first bowl game of the year is on Friday, 9/13 at 4 PM. Since it’s an early kickoff, we’ll be hosting a team lunch instead of dinner. Be sure to arrive early—we’re expecting a big crowd, and you won’t want to miss the excitement!

  • JV: The JV team will play on Thursday, 9/12 at 6 PM in Hood River. Dinner will be provided by Friends of Grant Football (FOGF).

Let’s make this a great week of football!

Urgent: Volunteers Needed for This Week’s Bowl Game!

As we prepare for our first bowl game of the season this Friday, 9/13 at 4 PM, we urgently need volunteers to ensure the event runs smoothly. We’re specifically looking for help with chains and concessions:

  • Chains: Volunteers are needed to manage the chains on the field—this is a vital role that keeps the game moving.

  • Concessions: We also need volunteers to staff the concession stand. We’re especially looking for someone with a food handler’s card who is willing to BBQ hotdogs and hamburgers. The BBQ will be fully set up and ready to go; we just need someone committed to grilling!

This is a fantastic opportunity to help raise funds for our program. The money we raise supports coaching stipends, team equipment, team dinners, and our camp stipends/beach retreat.

If you can assist, please sign up as soon as possible here. Your contribution is vital to making this event a success for our players and fans.

Thank you for your continued support!
