Dear Parents,
I would like to thank you for your support this summer.
Tomorrow starts our dead period here at Hickman High School. During the dead
period, we, my staff and I, cannot meet with or talk football with your son for
the next ten days. Practice begins again on August 3rd at 6:00 pm. I
have posted our August schedule on the blog at www.hickmanfootball.blogspot.com.
I would like to take a moment to talk about the practices in
August. This summer many of you have had to make decisions that you feel were
in the best interest of your son. As a parent, I understand that. As a coach I
tried to be as fair and cooperative as I could be over the summer months. I
will not make such concessions with August practices. Our opponents have used
every minute of their contact time and will use every minute of their August
practice time to finish preparing for the season. Hickman will also. If your
son plans to be an integral part of this football program at any level it will
be imperative that he attend every August practice. Ultimately I and my staff
will be held accountable for any success or failure this program has. I know
this and have accepted that responsibility for more than two decades, such is
the nature of sport. I also know that your son and our team will not get better
if we do not work together to make football a top priority after the dead
period. Please keep this in mind when you make some of those parent decisions
next month.
As you will read on the calendar Monday August 10th
and Wednesday August 12th we are scheduled to have two practices a
day. These practices will be for everyone freshman and upper classmen. Picture
Day is scheduled for August 8th the time will be sent out via Hudl
text as will practice time. Please do not forget that your son cannot practice
without his physical. Please turn all physical in to the Athletic Director J.D.
Coffman in the main office. Please do
not send them to me. Mr. Coffman can be reached by phone at 573-214-3000,
by email at JCoffman@cpsk12.org, or by
fax at 573-214-3057. As always it is my honor to be your sons’ coach. We look
forward to a very promising season. Thank you for your continued support.
P.S. This event will be held tomorrow at the crossing from 1-3pm it is free!!!!
