Hello Grant Football Family,
Varsity
We are excited that varsity parents will be able to watch the game this Saturday. The Grant vs Central game time has been changed to 6 pm at Franklin. Players will be receiving wristbands at Friday’s practice (we think 4 but not sure).
There will be a game going on before ours, so parking will be difficult and we will not be able to get into stands until the other spectators have left. Coming super early won’t really be necessary. It will be sunny and warm at 6 pm, but will get very cold fast, dress warmly!
All spectators will need to come to the west entrance by the stands, wear masks and sit 6 ft from other groups.
JV Games
This Thursday at 4:30 at Westview. We have the opportunity to have 2 parents allowed at the JV Game. We have to have a parent willing to check parents in and gather contact info. Players names will be checked off as each parent comes in and they will be very strict about this. Parents may get there 30 min early. Please let Karmen know if you are willing to take the job at
Karmenvonarx@icloud.com.
Help Needed at Game
Big help is needed!! Because it is spring break we are having a hard time filling these positions for the game. JV parents are preferred so Varsity parents can watch the game. Please let me know ASAP so I don’t have to make a bunch of phone calls! Please email back ASAP if you can help.
1-for scoreboard- not too complicated but experience helps
1-announcer- needs to know football.
1-spotter (for announcer,)
4-for chains-Varsity dads get first pick
4-gates, need 4 JV Parents. I don’t believe you need to be there for the whole game. Just the beginning into the first quarter
Team meals and snack
We are bummed to say because of Covid concerns we will not be able to do meals or snacks again until it’s approved. Please have your player pack snacks and water, it can be a long night.

Senior Night
We are hoping we will be able to do an on-field Senior Night before the Jefferson Game. Videos or letters this week! If you don’t feel comfortable doing a video for your player, please just send me a letter (up to 25-30 seconds long when reading it) in an email and we will have the announcer read it.
Things we need in the video or letter from Parents
Please prepare a 20-30 second video or letter to be read by March 28th telling us who your player is, how long he has been playing football, his position, and some love and good wishes. We will be playing them on the live stream for senior night, and reading while on the field if we can.
We need the names and info of Parents or Guardians and family names along with player name
Please send videos, letter, and info to Karmenvonarx@icloud.com
Awards
We do have a plan to have an outdoors award banquet about a month after the season, so we have time to get all the awards and letters for new varsity players
Are you interested in chipping in for the coach’s gifts? Go to this link to donates and in the notes put “coach’s gifts.” We have 13! Thanks! https://www.friendsofgrantfootball.com/give
If you get a chance, send a thank you note to the PIL. Our District AD and his staff have been working overtime to make sure our kids had a season this year, in what has possibly been the most stressful year of their careers.
Go Generals,
Friends of Grant Football
