OUR CORE VALUES
RESPECT
We have respect not only for ourselves but for others as well.
We respect the process of improvement by giving complete effort, fighting against complacency, and remaining ever hungry!

We will bring honor to our F.A.M.I.L.Y. namesake in EVERYTHING that we do.
We will honor the process of improvement by doing so with fidelity. The only people we fool is ourselves.
COMPETE
We will be relentless competitors in every endeavor we undertake.
We will compete throughout the entire process, regardless of circumstance.
OFF-SEASON UPDATE
#WorkWorks One of the traits that we want to be known for as a football program is our work ethic. #WorkWorks was drawn from this idea and thus we feel our off-season program is a difference maker. In 2017 we have been utilizing both a new format, as well as, new times. We have adopted a more “circuit” like approach that at first glance has produced great results! When we do our strength testing during the week leading up to spring break, I think we will discover that this new plan has worked tremendously! In addition to the new format, we have also adopted new days (Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday) and times (7:00pm weekdays and 9:00am to 10:15am on Saturday) this too has produced great results. There are so many benefits to strength training (increased power, stamina, bone health, injury prevention, and so on), that I would like to encourage those athletes who are participating in a spring sport to try and make time to come the scheduled lifting sessions. We hope to see everyone there! #WorkWorks

NUTRITION TIP OF THE MONTH
The primary fuel for football is carbohydrates. An ideal diet for football players requires 55 to 60 percent of their daily caloric intake to come from carbohydrates, 15 percent from protein and 30 percent from fat. Simply stated, your diet should be 2/3 carbohydrates and 1/3 protein, with an emphasis on moderate fat. Carbohydrates-containing foods with lower fat should be emphasized, example: bagels over doughnuts, mashed potatoes over fries, grilled chicken over fried, frozen yogurt over ice cream.
IT’S THE 4TH QUARTER!!!
