End of Season

2011-10-30T17:18:00.002-06:00

It was a tough way to end the season but what a wonderful group of young men that represented our school and community this season. Thanks to our seniors and their efforts over the past 4 years for Box Elder Football. We wish them the best and are grateful for the legacy that they leave. The juniors now have to prepare themselves to carry the torch. Don't waste one day in your off season preparation. It goes by fast, just ask the seniors.

Stay tuned to this blog for details of the end of season banquet and post season awards as they come out.

Thanks to the wonderful people who helped make this another successful football season.

Pocatello and Fall Break

2011-10-12T14:46:00.004-06:00

We play Pocatello at home on Thursday with the Varsity. On Wednesday the Freshmen play at 4pm and JV, which includes the sophomores, play at 6pm. The games are at Irving Jr. High.

There is no school on Wednesday, Thursday or Friday because of Fall Break. The team meal will be breakfast instead of dinner this week.

CoachG: What a fun week of football. No school and just football, it is like being a professional football player. Great job on the road in Pocatello of representing not only Box Elder but the state of Utah against one of Idaho's best. Thursday was a physical game that was won by making the fewest mistakes and playing with great energy and competing. The "FISTs" were flying.

Logan

2011-10-12T14:46:00.001-06:00

We play Logan this week at Logan on Friday. The JV plays at home at 3:30 on Thursday and the Sophs play at Logan at 3:30 on Thursday. The Freshmen play on Wednesday at 4pm at Logan.

CoachG: Nice job of competing and never giving up or giving in. The game plan was to make them earn everything and put pressure on them by shortening the game and controlling the ball. While there were mistakes made, it was a great job of not backing down and fighting through adversity. The "hive" was loud and disruptive.

Bonneville and Homecoming

2011-10-03T09:41:00.003-06:00

Varsity plays Bonneville on Friday at 7pm for the 2011 Homecoming Game. On Thursday the Sophs play at home at 3:30pm and JV plays at Bonneville at 3:30pm.

The team dinner will be Thursday at 7pm following the practice. It is also the second half of senior faculty appreciation this week. Seniors honor the great teachers and influences they have had here at Box Elder.

CoachG: It was great to win a game at the end. It showed great character to overcome the many obstacles and adversity throughout the week and game. Keep working the process of being a champion. FIST was evident again, especially spirited teamwork.

Mt. Crest in Cancer Awareness Game

2011-09-25T17:11:00.004-06:00

We play Mountain Crest this week. Freshmen on Wed at home, JV at Mt Crest on Thursdayat 3:30 and Sophs at home on Thursday at 3:30. Varsity will play a home game again, finally. It is a cancer awareness game sponsored locally. The game is Friday night at 7pm.

Thursday at 7pm will be the team dinner in the commons area at the high school. Thanks again to the parents who make it possible.

CoachG: It was a great Region 5 football game. In a game that close the reasons for the loss can be traced back to many plays. Instead of focusing on the negative things that caused the loss, Winners focus on the great things that were accomplished and get to work making those things even better. When the fist is raised that means that something great is happening. Keep "firing the fist".

Sky View Bobcats

2011-09-19T18:20:00.005-06:00

This week we play the Sky View Bobcats.
-Freshmen here on Wednesday at 4:00
-Soph at Sky View at 3:30 on Thursday
-JV here at 3:30 on Thursday
-Varsity at Sky View on Friday at 7pm

CoachG: In close games it becomes the little things that make the biggest difference. It comes down to 3-5 plays that win or lose the game. It is imperative that we treat every play like the one that makes the difference.

Roy and Region 5

2011-09-12T09:07:00.004-06:00

This week we play Roy at Roy with the varsity on Friday at 7pm. This is our first Region game. The JV plays at home at 3:30 on Thursday and the Sophs play at Roy at 3:30 on Thursday. The freshmen play Logan on Wed at 3:30 here.

There is no school for students on Wednesday and we will have practice at 2:30.

CoachG: What great energy and effort that was displayed on Friday at Roy. There was definitely "white heat intensity" on display individually and as a team. Now, it is important to be able to control that and we didn't on offense. Continue working hard to improve. I did see some great teammates trying to pick each other up after making mistakes, that is a great example of FIST.

Syracuse at Weber State

2011-09-04T18:19:00.004-06:00

This week we play the Syracuse Titans. Soph game is Thursday at home at 3:30pm and JV is at Syracuse at 3:30pm. Freshmen play at Mt Crest on Wednesday at 4pm.

The varsity game is at Weber State at 5pm. It is part of a double header with Davis and Hunter at 8pm.

CoachG: The field looked great with all the purple. We played with great effort. That is a tough way to lose a game. Keep working the process of improving everyday. In evenly matched games like that, it becomes the team that makes the fewest mistakes that wins. Our team doesn't back down from anybody and showed great toughness in that game, I was impressed with the competitiveness and fight.

Bear River and the Golden Spike

2011-08-30T12:41:00.005-06:00

Games this week are against Bear River
-Freshmen are Thursday at 4pm here

-there isn't a separate JV and Soph game this week
-Varsity game is 7pm on Friday

KSL is bringing Game Night Live to Box Elder for this game

CoachG: It was an exciting night Friday with the KSL Game Night and Battle for Golden Spike on the line. We played with great effort and determination. The theme this week was "do your job" I felt like everyone did their job all week with great focus. School started and it was a great week of work in preparation. This was another example of a team win. Scout team was focused and working hard all week. Box Elder Football is every man doing his job to the best of his ability. The hive was strong and the bees were strong!!

Week 2 Clearfield

2011-08-21T11:58:00.004-06:00

This week is first game for Sophs and JV. They will play on Thursday at 3:30.

The JV is at home and the Sophs are at Clearfield.

The varsity will play Friday at Clearfield at 7pm.

CoachG: Great week of overcoming adversity. We talk about the refiner's fire, this week the heat made it feel like we were in it. Excellent job on Friday night of taking a teams best and staying focused. Great example in the second half of finishing! Things don't always go our way and it is important to stay focused and keep working together. FIST!

Weber and Mom's Night

2011-08-21T11:49:00.003-06:00

Wednesday night was Mom's night. Thank you to all the Mom's who came and participated. It is awesome to see the players trying to coach their mothers.

CoachG:Friday night was a great start to the season. It was a great team win. Many players were able to contribute to the team success. Our theme through the summer was "strength of the bee is the hive and the strength of the hive is the bee". That was evident on Friday with the individual players sacrificing and doing their job for the glory of the team. It was also amazing that we had more fans than Weber and that is a tribute to the support of our community. Go Bees!!

Packets are due

2011-08-05T13:13:00.002-06:00

Please make sure that you get you packets in to Coach Peterson, BEHS Athletic Director.

There has been confusion on the fundraisers. The boys were told that they can't use those towards their district fees unless they talk to Coach Gunter. Some of the boys forgot to tell their parents the last part of that statement and it has caused some confusion. If your son has raised money for their district fees through a fundraiser please have them talk to Coach Gunter to verify the amount.

Purple and White Aug 12 6pm

2011-08-04T18:18:00.004-06:00

The annual Purple and White game will be held at Ferguson Field on Friday Aug. 12. The sophomores against the freshmen game will start at 6pm and the varsity game will begin at 7pm. There will be concessions with hamburgers, hotdogs, drinks, etc.. and the parent group will feed the players after the game. Check the Purple and White page for more information.

CoachG: Thank you to all who helped with the Purple and White. A special thanks to Vicki Werling and Burton Withey and their crews. It was a great success on the field and off. It takes great parents to run a great football program and we have great parents. The players showed great effort and are starting to come together as a team. The meal for the players was great after and the hospitality of the parents serving and working was amazing. I am looking forward to an exciting and successful season.

Green Bay Packers

Region Champions and Playoffs 2010

2010-10-23T09:40:00.003-06:00

We have a 3 way tie for the Region Championship with us, Logan and Mountain Crest. There was a coin flip for placement in the state playoffs and Logan is 3rd, we are 2nd and Mt Crest is 1st. We play Highland the #2 team in Region 6, they had a 3 way tie for 2nd in that region.

The game is at 4pm at Highland High School (2166 South 1700 East Salt Lake City) It is just east of Sugar House Park.

There is no JV or Soph game this week. Their season is completed. Thank you for your efforts, now we need you to turn your focus to helping the Varsity.

Coach G: Thank you for the support. It was a great turnout at Highland for the game. We played well enough to win for 3 quarters but in the second quarter made too many mistakes. We have beat teams all year because we didn't turn it over and made them make the mistakes but not this time. I couldn't be prouder of our team for the way we kept competing and fought back. Our theme this week was total effort and it was there from start to finish. Effort is what brought this team from the bottom to the top.

Ogden Week

2010-10-17T20:17:00.005-06:00

Our last regular season game is at home Thursday against Ogden for the region championship. The JV/Sophs play at Ogden on Wed at 4pm.

This week we also have parent teacher conferences on Tuesday and Wednesday but because of the JV/Soph game on Wednesday the coaches will only be available for parent teacher conferences on Tuesday or if you would like to set up another time. Wednesday is an early out day also and we will practice at 1:15pm

Coach G: A great approach was taken to this game, very focused and professional. Our focus of the week was overcoming adversity and even though there didn't appear to much of that during the game as a team, each player has struggles and difficulties that he must overcome and I appreciate and respect each player for that desire, attitude and effort to be an overcomer.

My thoughts on Senior Night. At our banquet at the end of each football season we pay tribute to our seniors. I expect our seniors, and all players for that matter, to play each game like it is there last. I do appreciate the parents of our senior players who have put in so much time and effort over the years for their boys to have this wonderful experience. Thank you for having such great young men, it makes what I do a joy, not a job.

Morgan and Midweek Football

2010-10-10T20:47:00.004-06:00

This week the Varsity, JV and Freshmen play against Morgan and because this is Fall Break week the games are earlier in the week.

Games, JV 4pm on Tuesday at Home, Freshmen 4pm Tuesday at Morgan.

Sophomore game Tuesday v Ben Lomond has been cancelled by Ben Lomond. Sophomores will play with the JV v Morgan at home on Tuesday.

Coach G: A slow start and turnovers hurt us badly against Morgan. A very impressive rally gave us a chance at the end. The heart of our team was evident in this game. To be great we cannot overlook anyone and must compete at the highest level possible from start to finish against every opponent. We must be the best at blocking, tackling and controlling the football.

Logan

2010-10-02T07:36:00.005-06:00

We play the Logan Grizzlies this week. On Thursday the JV and Sophomores are at Logan at 3:30 and 5:30. On Wednesday the Freshmen are at Logan at 4pm. On Friday the Varsity plays at home at 7pm.

Also, It is almost midterm. It is very important that our players are taking care of their grades. If they are having problems please feel free to contact a coach for more help.

Our theme this week is Attitude, take a look at the attitude link above for a great quote.

Coach G: What a great finish! Defense played sound the entire game. Many things happened against us all game long but we competed for everything and kept a positive attitude. We made mistakes but stayed together and kept working to be successful. Keep up the great work.

Bonneville

2010-09-27T08:11:00.003-06:00

This week we play Bonneville. JV 3:30 and Soph 5:30 are on Thursday here and Varsity plays Friday at Bonneville.

The Freshmen play Wednesday at Pleasant Grove at 6:30 pm.

Coach G: Great team effort. The synergy was evident through special teams to offense to the defense, who played an outstanding overall game. None of the Friday night success is possible without the Mon-Thursday effort of the "warriors", those who practice as hard as they can and may not see action on Friday. Keep up the great work.

Mountain Crest

2010-09-19T20:56:00.005-06:00

This week the varsity travels to Mt Crest on Friday at 7pm. The JV and Sophs play at home on Thursday at 3:30 and 5:30 respectively. The Freshmen play on Wed at 4pm at home.

Note to parents: Thank you very much to those who have been helping with the concessions stand on game nights. It has been a success. Again a special thanks to Rob and Tricia for going above and beyond to set up and do all that you do.

Coach G: Big games hinge on 3-5 plays and we didn't get any of them. The defense played well but without the offense playing well it makes it very difficult to win the games against teams who are equal or better than we are. There is a process to being great and we must keep focused on the process. It includes great practice, great students, great preparation, then "play with your hair on fire" on Friday night.

Sky View and Region Begins

2010-09-13T10:12:00.004-06:00

All teams play Sky View this week as Region 5 competition begins. On Wednesday the Freshmen will play at 5:30 at Sky View. On Thursday the JV will play at 3:30pm and the Sophs will play right after (around 5:30pm) both games at Sky View. On Friday the Varsity will play here at 7pm for our Homecoming game.

Our theme this week is Hold the Rope.

Coach G: It was a great homecoming game. We held the rope! It is still important to remember process over product. The win was great but how we went about it is what is important. Players were focused on winning one play at a time. Teamwork, our 11 against their 11 on every play.

Spanish Fork

2010-09-07T06:56:00.005-06:00

This week we play Spanish Fork with JV and Varsity. The Freshmen play Stansbury here on Wed. Spanish Fork doesn't have enough to field 2 teams so they only play one game on Thursday. It is at Spanish Fork. Bus will leave a little before 1 on Thursday and return around 8pm. Players will need to bring some money to eat after the game. The game starts at 3:30pm. The Varsity game is a home game at 7pm on Friday.

Coach G: We got off to a great start with a KO return for a TD. There was great energy from start to finish. Our theme was a Band of Brothers from Henry V. We made plenty of mistakes but players competed well for each other to cover up mistakes and redeem mistakes. It was a fine team effort. The Hogs did a nice job of winning the line of scrimmage. Keep working hard because now the games count towards making the playoffs. Keep working to become a "Band of Brothers!

Purple and White

2010-08-10T20:08:00.008-06:00

Friday Aug 13 is the annual Purple and White game. It begins at 6pm with the Freshmen v. Sophomore scrimmage. At 7pm the Varsity will play a modified game. The teams will be drafted by the coaches and will be even on paper. It is our game preparation for the first game 1 week from Friday at home v. Weber.

There will also be food available for the spectators. The players will be served a dinner after they play. So the Sophomores and Freshmen will eat while the varsity is playing.

Food Assignments

Freshmen and Juniors bring desserts

Sophomores and Seniors bring a salad

If you have questions about the food assignments and/or are willing to help with the barbeque please call 723-2461 or email kingtricia@yahoo.com

Coach G: Thank you for the great parental support of the barbeque. Thanks to Tricia and Rob for spending all day getting set up and all the parents who worked with them to make it a success. Football, it was a great showing of team football. It is important to understand that we have no stars but everyone giving total effort to do their job will make the team the star. To steal from Rudyard Kipling, "the strength of the bee is in the hive, the strength of the hive is the bee."

Hydration

2010-08-03T14:48:00.002-06:00

Parents and players,

It is imperative that the players stay hydrated. The most important time to hydrate is before the activity. I have suggested that they drink one oz of water for every one lb of body weight. ie.. Gary weighs 179lbs, he needs 179 oz of water every day to compete at optimal performance. These young men are working as hard as they can and trying to earn a starting position, they need to be completely hydrated to function at their best. If they are underhydrated they do not function at full capacity and if they are dehydrated there are serious health risks.

Team Camp

2010-06-28T16:39:00.006-06:00

Thanks for a great camp! Each year our goal for camp as coaches is to put in our basic defense and offense and stay healthy. We started by putting everything in without pads on Monday, even tackling, and finished with a competition day on Friday of Punt, Pass, Kick and push the truck. We also, had a successful scrimmage against Roy on Thursday. Now it is important that we condition ourselves so that we can physically dominate a complete football game. Keep working hard!

Offensively, we are learning the plays and executed them well. We moved the ball.

Box Elder Football Expectations

2009-01-22T12:47:00.003-07:00

It was great to meet most of the football players and introduce myself last week at the team meeting. I am very excited to be the football coach at Box Elder!

Expectations of a Box Elder Football Player
- Be a great person!
- Be respectful!
- Be a hard worker!
- Be a winner!

Because it is a long time before the actual football season starts, this gives me an opportunity to find out who wants to be the best. I will be checking grades and citizenship and attendance to find out which players are willing to do what it takes now to be successful in the fall. Work hard and do what is right now to prove to me, the coaches, and your teammates that you can be trusted when the game is on the line.
