HEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEEE!!!!!

The 2007 CBC Football Guide is here!!! The guide serves as an annual yearbook of sorts and introduces the Cadets and Coaches across all three CBC Football Teams. The guide also celebrates the Senior Cadets as they play their final season of Cadet Football. It is intended to be a keepsake that the boys can have to revisit their high school football experiences after this chapter of their lives has ended.

The guide was sold during the crushing defeat of SLUH last Friday night (YEA! Sorry for the poor sportsmanship here but I simply couldn't resist....Boys, this is bad so please "do as I say, not as I do!" ;). The guide will continue to be sold by Football Moms during all remaining games for ALL CBC football teams until they sell out. If you haven't already purchased your own, please do so as soon as possible as they are a beautiful way to capture this very special football season. If you have already purchased your own, please think of someone else you might be able to purchase one for (i.e. Grandma, Aunt Flo or Uncle John, etc.) as the guides are also serving as a fundraiser to help to create a very special end of the season banquet for all Cadets and Coaches on all CBC football teams. As there are still some parents who are unaware of this blog, please tell everyone you know who is involved in supporting the football teams about this opportunity! For more information about where to purchase the guides during games, look for Lori Johnson during Freshman football games, Susan Berberich during JV football games, and Sharon Jenkins during Varsity football games. The guides are priced at $10 per book, with all proceeds (minus the cost of production) being used to offset the cost of the end of season football banquet which will be scheduled shortly; most likely taking place during the first week in December.

The end of season football banquet is held on behalf of ALL THREE CBC FOOTBALL TEAMS, and celebrates the accomplishments on the field of all of our Cadets. A delicious, catered buffet meal will be served in Ross Dining Hall at CBC, following which the football coaches will honor the Cadets with awards for achieving football milestones such as Most Improved Player, Most Valuable Player, etc. Also during this event, Coaches gifts are presented, Cadets receive their letters for participation on various teams, and for those Cadets who are selected to be named to "polled teams by the sports media" (i.e. ALL-METRO, ALL-STATE, etc.), special recognition is also given. Invitations to this event will be sent home by football Cadets in early to mid-November. In order to contain costs, RSVPs will be necessary; so please look for the invitation and R.S.V.P. early or contact Sharon Jenkins in the event that no information is brought home by the week of Thanksgiving break.

Many hours of hard work went into the creation of this year's media guide, and a very special thank you is owed by all to Ms. Jessica Happe.

Jessica is a trained graphic designer who DONATED her services to assist (LOL! she created the sculpture, I mixed the mud!) us with the creation of this guide because her brother Matt is a senior Cadet and she is a generous person. Jessica spent many hours (think a couple of work weeks) of her personal time working hard to create the most beautiful guide I have seen in my many years of working with youth sports teams. The amount of money it would have cost to hire a graphic artist of Jessica's skill level to help develop this guide would have been prohibitive to say the least considering the time invested; so to those of you who have seen the finished product and understand the magnitude of her contribution, please let Jessica know when you see her in person at Varsity games and/or via this blog how very much we all appreciate her and all that she did on our behalf!!

Now let's show our support of ALL OF OUR CADET FOOTBALL TEAMS by purchasing every single guide and paving the way for the most spectacular end of season banquet ever!!!!

LET'S GO CADET FANS!!!!
