Super Booster Support is now Closed! God showed up in a BIG way this year providing over $17,000! It has been a record year! It is truly amazing to see all the wonderful things we are going to do together with your support. Go God! Go Metro Patriots Football!  

We didn't come away with a win this week but the Lord has been reminding me that He is still at work. I see Him at work in the lives of our coaches investing into our players. I see Him at work in our players growing each time they are on the field. I see Him at work as the athletic trainers serve the team so well. I see Him at work as our boys continue to be challenged spiritually. I see Him at work in your families as you are connecting and coming together to support one another during this challenging year. God is at work! The verse He gave me this morning was: "Let patience have its perfect work, so that you may be perfect, and complete, lacking nothing." James 1:4. What an exciting time to trust in the Lord and have patience as He continues to work in and through us in this coming year!

 I am excited to be back on our own field as we face the Noah Jaguars this Friday night! Let's go Patriots!

NOAH Week-Read Numbers 21:1:9; Numbers 21:10-20; Numbers 22:1-21; Numbers 22:22-41; Numbers 25:1-18

MEMORY VERSE: John 3:14-15 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.”

Team Meeting Notes 8-25-20

 

It was so fun to see you all and meet some new families last night at the team meeting. I am going to attach information for you that was shared.

 -Special things to note

Lock for locker in the football locker room- Your boys need a combination lock for the football lockers while they are at practice. They need to secure their belongings. We normally do not have problems with things being missing from the locker room however it will happen on occasion. The boys are so trusting. This last week my son's air pods went missing from his locker. The boys normally just pile up their wallet, keys and airpods on the top shelf of their locker and go to practice. They don't think about how many boys could be coming in and out of the locker room while they are outside at practice. Please buy a lock. Please send one with your son. 

 Bus travel to Paris, TX- the team will be taking two chartered busses to help with spacing. The boys will all ride home this coming week on the bus. For further games boys will be allowed to ride with parents home from the games to help with spacing on the bus. Perhaps freshmen and sophomores that do not drive- this would be a great opportunity for them ride home with parents to free up space so the boys can social distance better. Upperclassmen will still have vehicles at the school they will need to drive home. 

 Moms- Thank you for signing up to serve! You all are wonderful! If you were unable to attend the meeting last night and you can help us take care of the team this year with meals please reply back and let me know you can serve in one of the spots below. I have 7 spots left available that we need to fill. These are all reimbursed by the Booster Club. We have a lead contact mom for each group that will contact you, help you, and answer any questions you have. All specific information is located on the website under "links you need".

What a joy it is to be able to play football this week. Praise the Lord! Please continue to pray for coaches and players as we continue to prepare for week one. See y'all Friday at the game!

⭐️ That he would grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

⭐️ Protection over his body. I prayed specially over body parts and over his pads, that they would do their job in protecting him.

⭐️That he would grow in his understanding of the game, and excel in every area.

⭐️That he would have an eternal impact on his coaches and his teammates with his words and actions.

⭐️That he would be on purpose to pour into his teammates. I pray he would be an encourager and a leader in every area.

⭐️That he would surprise people with his heart, stamina, and work ethic.

⭐️That he would make memories and learn lessons this seasons that he would carry with him forever.

⭐️That every single player would be safe and become better men because of this season.

⭐️Protection from all fear and that they would be allowed to play their entire season.

⭐️Healthy players

⭐️Wisdom for the coaches and encouragement for them. Pray protection over their families, days of rest and joy in the Lord.

⭐️That angels would encamp about him and the team, guarding and guiding them in all of their ways.

⭐️That he would have the strength of Sampson, the wisdom of Solomon, and the courage of David.

New Info

You Guys it is the night before school starts!

I have been trying to gather you more information today and here is what I have for you:

1- The players can put their bag of equipment in the locker room in the morning. They will need to plan ahead to be there early to do so. They will have to come through the main doors and then drop off their bag in the locker room. Each day after practice they will have to bring this bag home with them. At this time they cannot leave anything in the locker rooms overnight. They will be sanitizing the locker rooms every day. They should know this. Please remind them.

2- They need to bring a water canister to use during practice. There will be large water containers to refill their canisters.

3- Physicals. They have to be turned in to practice this week. Please contact ktaylor@metroca.com if you have any questions.

4- OSSAA Electronic Forms will need to be filled out by Wednesday, August 19. Please visit the rank one website and click on the OSSAA link to log in and fill out your form.
