2012 Winter Update
Players and parents of Wolfpack football,
Happy 2012! It has been great to see many of our football players competing in winter sports. Good luck as your seasons wind down and we get ready for spring. I wanted to give you an update about what has been going on so far this off-season.
Players had individual meetings with me over the past two months as we discussed their season and did some goal-setting for academic progress, off-season training, and next football season’s goals. Unfortunately only 47 players completed their meeting with me out of about 110 players.
We have decided to begin 7 on 7 in the morning starting in February. All players in all grades are welcome. More information will be coming soon on this. We also plan to do some training sessions with quarterbacks and receivers starting in February.
No decision has been made at this time regarding a summer team camp. I will let you know when it is decided what we plan to do.
If your son has not finished their community service hours, please have them stop and see me in room 219. We have sent out announcements about opportunities for volunteer hours over the past couple weeks.
As I mentioned at the banquet, we are looking for a strong commitment this off-season in other sports or in the weight room. Our expectation is for players to be in another sport, or be in the weight room at least 80% of the time. The following athletes have been very impressive in their weight training efforts so far this winter:
JT BICKEL
ERIC BLACK
IRVING GUITERREZ
SAM OREDOLA
KAHLEN BOICH
CODY BUETOW
SAM DOMEIER
ZACH FRITZ
ZACH HEMMINGSON
CARSON KOENKE
GABE MEYER
JESSE VOLKERT
GRANT CONNER
ADAM HITCHCOCK
CHANDLER KRUBSACK
RYAN BANASZEWSKI
KAREEM MCDUFFIE
If your son is on this list, you should be very proud of their efforts. If your son is not in a sport or on this list, please encourage them to increase their efforts to become better football players and better athletes. Coach E is in the weight room each day making these kids better athletes. I hope to see more of our players taking advantage of this.
There are many Park teams having success this winter in their sports. It has been great seeing so many football players at these events cheering on their classmates. Love to see the school spirit. The Girl’s Basketball team is even singing the school song after their wins. Awesome!!!
Finally, we are starting up a Leadership group for athletes this month. Many of your sons and daughters will be asked to take part. I am hopeful this is a step in the right direction in changing the culture at Park High.

p.s. Congrats to Coach Badger as he became a daddy this weekend! Greyson Dean Badger and his mommy are both doing great.
