Week 8 is in the books for football. It was camp week and things went well. Football players were given today off to recover from yesterdays competitions. Next week is the final week of weights and conditioning. Next week there will be no junior high football before weights. The first day of football practice for both Junior High and High School will be Monday morning August 8th at 6:00AM. There will also be a Junior High and High School football parents meeting on August 2nd at 6:00PM in the High School cafeteria. We anticipate the field being completed this weekend or early next week.
The Tiger football team competed at the Concordia Football Camp today. The Tigers scrimmaged Omaha Bryan, North Platte, Norris, Hartington Cedar Catholic, Beatrice, York, Fillmore Central and Lincoln Christian. We were one of the smallest schools at the camp but got stronger as it got hotter. All football players earned the day off tomorrow. We have one more week of weights, next week. August 8th we will start Fall Practice at 6:00AM on the new turf. We are finally back home! Great work today Tigers!
Week 7 in the books for Tiger Football. We have roughly 34 HS players and 31 JH prospective players on the books. As of now 30% of HS has met the 75% goal and 25% of JH have met the 75% goal. We have 71% of HS at 50% or higher and 65% of JH at 50% or higher in regards to attendance. Thursday and Friday were our first days of camp. We had to adjust due to lightning on both days but the Team worked hard and adapted well. This week we continue 7-12 football camp on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at South School from 6AM till 8AM. Thursday the High School travels too Seward to compete at the Concordia camp where we will get our first full contact test. As the heat and humidity climb so does the challenge. Go Tigers!

Week 5 is in the books for Tiger Football Workouts. We currently have 36 High School players and 33 potential 6-8 football players. We are over half way complete for the summer with our most crucial weeks coming up with camp starting July 14th and ending on July 21st at Seward. We currently have 16 HS players at 75% or higher and 10 JH players over the 75% mark. We have 27 HS players above 50% which means they can still hit their goal and 22 JH players above 50% as well. Keep up the good work as the start of the season is just around the corner!

The Falls City Flag football league currently has 120 players signed up but are short coaches. If you would be willing or interested in coaching please call Blake Amador at 303-505-4691 or email at Blakeamador@yahoo.com
Week 4 of summer Football weights and conditioning is in the books. We have 15 HS players above the 75% goal and 11 JH players above the 75% goal. Last week the senior class as a group hit 90% for the week, the Juniors 28%, Sophomores 50% and Freshman 62%. Junior parents, roll those juniors out of bed and get them to the gym, we need them! Seniors you have been examples, you all are working jobs playing multiple sports and getting the work in for football. Great job! Freshman you have the biggest group and have the 2nd highest percentage for the week, nice work but lets get to 75%! Strive for 75 and learn to love the grind! JH is doing nice work too, sitting at 50% last week in grades 6-8. This is great boys, keep up the good work Tiger Cubs! If you have any questions on schedules etc. feel free to email Coach Bangert at jbangert@fallscityps.org. GO TIGERS!!
There is also a wrestling camp this weekend in Sabetha hosted by Cody Hummer, who has previously done camps with Falls City. It is a cheap 2-day camp for all ages of wrestlers, that's close proximity, and would be a great camp for many of us that have been away from the mats.
