RIVALRY WEEK!

Sabercat Nation:

This week, our Sabercats will begin their 2017 campaign against cross-town rivals, Douglas County. If you have been to this game before, you know that this is the most electric and exciting High School Football atmosphere in the state of Colorado.

Our players, coaches and staff have worked exceptionally hard this off-season to prepare and have championship aspirations. The first of several championship goals begin on Friday night as CV will defend the city title for the 2nd straight year, working for its 3rd consecutive win against the Huskies. There is little doubt that DC will throw everything they have against CV and bring their best on Friday, so Sabercat Nation needs to RISE to be LOUD, PROUD & ROWDY!

As we all know, rivalries can get very emotional. It is very important that we show exceptional leadership this week and demonstrate exceptional class. Let's remind our fellow fans that CV Football adheres to a strong set of Core Values and that we strive to be the classiest program in state.

The Gridiron Club is working very closely with the school and athletic department to make this week special.

From a community perspective, we are going to ask that we have a HUGE CROWD show up at the 'back commons' area behind the school on Friday afternoon beginning at 3:00 PM. The Gridiron Club will be providing and grilling Hotdogs for the Student Body and community members who attend to give our players the send-off that they deserve. Please plan on being there early (At Castle View in Back Commons) before heading to DCS Stadium.

Players will depart around 5:00 PM (two busses will arrive at same time). They will be escorted by a police motorcade to DCS Stadium at this time.

We plan to have a DJ pumping up the ENORMOUS crowd so we can give our Sabercats a rambunctious and loud sendoff.

Students have decided that the game will be a "BLACK OUT". This means that we are calling for ALL fans to wear BLACK. Our players will also be in their black uniforms as well.

We are the Home Team this season, so we need to make DCS Stadium OUR HOUSE! Please spread the word about the BLACK OUT. Let's make sure we make some NOISE at the game.

Pride Time

Families are welcome (and encouraged) to join players & Coaches at the school commons (inside) after the game. The Gridiron Club provides a meal for players and coaches. This is an opportunity to come and hangout with players and to congratulate/encourage them. This is not a time to rehash the game, but rather just be together as a football family.

Team Meal on Wednesday. This is for players of all levels and takes place at the school after practice.

Both Pride Time and Team Meals are an important part of this program.
