Good luck to all teams tomorrow. After being home for the last two weeks, Black teams go on the road. Here's wishing they have a great time and execute well.
Orange teams get their first taste of home when they play West Bend tomorrow. Should be fun.
Remember, be a fan with good sportsmanship. It's OK to be passionate, but within the bounds of good behavior.
We'll see everyone on the field, and in the stands.
Until then,
Go Hartford Football!

Game 1 is under our belts
It was a fun start to the season with some of the teams experiencing wins. 8th grade had a tough go, but hopefully will bounce back in week 2. 7th grade had mixed results but a very competitive showing, going 0-1-1 with great efforts. 6th grade started strong with both teams winning, and Black getting a shutout (congrats!). 5th grade was very competitive as well, with Black winnning and Orange coming ever so close.
What showed is that practice is important! Mental as well as physical conditioning are very important. 6th grade Orange drew at least 5 offsides penalties against Brookfield East because they were disciplined; 7th grade Orange tied because their defense never tired.
Make sure your son is at offensive practices so they know formations and plays - that is such a huge part of the mental game, and improves their chances of more rotations in games. Players that don't know formations or assignments will struggle in games, and that's not fair to them or their teammates.
Until Week 2,
Go Hartford Football!

One Week Away!
Hi Everyone,
Well, our season starts one week from today. Most players are ready to go, and are working hard. It's time to find out who is focused on what needs to be done. It will show on the field. Practices have become more focused, as our own team started special teams practices this past week.
Looking forward to a fun year, we'll see you on the field.
Remember to have your player at his game at least one hour prior to game time, otherwise find out from your coach how early they need to be there.
Now that school has started, coaches have shared that school comes first. Homework should be a priority so kids don't miss practice. Think of football as their playtime, and get their work done. It will help them balance all of their activities. We all want them to do well in school.
Until next time,
Go Hartford Football!
