Football Holiday Tradition
Posted: Tuesday, November 27 2007
We are asking our players to participate in two annual holiday traditions of giving.

Greater Houston Football Coaches Association Food Drive
Each year every high school football team in Houston collects non-perishable food items to be donated to the patients and families of children being treated by Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children. We are asking the players to donate cans or boxes of non-perishable food items. We will have collection boxes in the fieldhouse beginning tomorrow November 14th – the night of our Banquet December 6th.

Fieldhouse Custodians Christmas Gift
Our Fieldhouse custodians do a tremendous job of cleaning and maintaining our beautiful facility. We are asking that each boy donate $ 5 towards a cash gift for each of our custodians. The boys will turn in the donation to Coach O’Keefe during our athletic period.

The Coaching Staff wish all of you a wonderful Holiday Season. Thank You for all of your support.
