Welcome to week 1 of the 2021 Ponderosa Football Season. I can’t wait to kick things off this week against Legend – especially after we didn’t get to play them last season. I know there are a lot of Seniors that are still upset about that. I have heard a lot of good things about the progress of all 3 levels during the preseason and am excited to see everyone play someone else. This week against Legend is a whiteout for all of the fans.
Schedule this week:
- Freshman – against Legend HS on 8/30 – 3:30 pm (Ponderosa Turf)
- JV – against Legend HS on 8/28 – 8 am (Ponderosa Turf)
- Varsity Game
- Opponent: Legend
- Date and Time: August 27th at 7 pm

- Online streaming of this game: The link for this will be provided as soon as I have it.
Team Meal: Thank you to Los Dos Potrillos in Parker for supporting this week’s Varsity pregame meal. If you are in that area and are hungry please consider stopping in and supporting them
Tailgating: We will be hosting a tailgate in the upper parking lot at Echo Park on Friday prior to the game. The fun will begin at 4:30, stop by if you can.
Housekeeping:
- Shutterfly – if you will be taking pictures for any of the levels please add them to our Shutterfly site. This is the place we have stored pictures for all levels for years. The upload instructions are HERE.
- Volunteer opportunities still exist to help in many places throughout the program. Please visit the Volunteer page on our website for more info on where you can help
- Make sure your kids are getting well hydrated in prep for the games this weekend. It will hit them out of no where if they aren’t prepping now. The link for the plan that Chris Mathewson has put together is HERE. Believe me – it works. My oldest son Cael couldn’t finish the Legend game 2 years ago because he cramped so bad he could barely walk. He followed this program the rest of the season and never had any hydration issues again
- Our game against Legend is being considered for their game of the week. Please visit their Voting page to make sure we can make that happen!!!
Let’s get out and cheer on our players this weekend,
See you all Friday
