Playoff-Bound!!!!!

Apologies for the lack of posts during the season, but there was some lack of communication about whether we were going to have a permanent website, which was supposed to happen but never came to fruition. We are working on it and should have on up shortly. Until then, just a quick update from Mustang land.
That's right, the Mustangs (as far as I know) have made HISTORY by becoming the first-ever first-year program in Utah state history to qualify for the playoffs!!! We will go in as the 4th seed out of a very tough Region 3 and meet undefeated Cottonwood in a contest that will tell us a lot about how far we have come and how much work we still need to do. The future is looking bright indeed as a fantastic group of seniors continue to lay the groundwork for a great program.

Even more beautiful under the lights...great pics of the field!

First pics of the weightroom - still in development but not a bad start!

Power Racks (Custom made, the cardinal powder coating came out beautifully)

More racks - a bit blurry but check out the logos and writing on the benches and on the gold inserts

Dumbbell area (again, check out the logos on the benches)

Austin Super Leg Drive

This is the back of the leg drive...all of the equipment has something similar on it

The best field in the state - check out the pics!

Weightroom pics are coming soon - we are almost there!!!

Herriman Football helps out in a time of need

The Herriman football team has been out in the community assisting with recovery from the flood. Earlier today, Nick Staley decided that it would be great for the boys to answer the call for help from Cottonwood Heights, a good 30 minutes away from Herriman. He rounded up a good chunk of the team and off they went to serve others in need. The contingent should be even stronger tomorrow, as they will meet and once again spend their day filling sandbags to help control flooding. See the article about today's assistance, with a couple of quotes from Nick, who has earned an extremely high level of admiration from his coaches and teammates for making this wonderful contribution to those in need. We are very proud of you, Nick,and all of the other boys who answered the call!

Booster Club personnel needed!!!!

Parents,

We are in great need of responsible, passionate, committed individuals for our HHS football booster club. The success of our program depends on a great level of involvement and commitment from this club - let's get off on the right foot from the very start! Please contact Kam Weihing at kamsales@comcast.net to become a part of this great organization - there are many things that need to be done right now!!

Parent Meeting a huge success

Monday night at Fort Herriman Middle School saw a continuation of the excitement that has pervaded the Herriman community since the announcement of the new school and the beginning of the football program. Kam Weihing, Booster Club president and he man responsible for all of the great looking apparel you have seen around, got the night off to an enthusiastic start before giving way to the coaching staff(with coaching assignments to help familiarize you with them), who spoke on the following topics:

Kalisi Uluave (Front 7): Spoke on 4.0 scholar athletes, the importance of academics, and awarded t-shirts to the following young men as part of the inaugural Four-O scholar athlete club

JOSH BIVENS

CHRISTIAN GOMEZ

MATT HEISLER

BRADY HENINGER

JORDAN JARVIS

ALEC JOHNSON

JACOB LYBARGER

DAVID RENDA

TISI TUIFUA

JAYDEN ZUNDEL

Jeff Wilson (Offensive Coordinator, OL): Spoke candidly on the issue of playing time and how it is determined. Factors contributing playing time are, in order: 1. Attendance 2. Attitude 3. Effort 4. Ability. Also related the importance of those same traits, and the importance of performing when given an opportunity, for success in life.

Paul Putnam (Quarterbacks): Spoke on procedures for parent communication and the importance of not having discussions with coaches during emotional situations (right after a game, during practice) and setting appointments to meet with coaches instead. Also stressed that coaches will only talk to a parent about their child, not anyone else's child.

Randy Coy (Defense, TBD): Spoke on boundaries, UHSAA policies, and the rule allowing any student who lives in Herriman High boundaries to transfer from any school and be immediately eligible this year.

Eric Drage (Wide Receivers): Spoke on the parent handbook, which details among other things parent behavior in the stands and how what is said at home regarding the program, coaches, and other players/parents does have a positive or negative impact on their child's experience and success. Coach Drage has two boys in the program, so this was an issue that hits close to home with him.

Mikey Jacobsen (Quarterbacks/Offensive Skill): Coach Jacobsen, in his first year as a coach, did a great job speaking on academics. As the youngest member of the staff he was able to easily recall his classroom days form high school, and he addressed proper study habits, classroom behavior, strategies for classroom success, and the expectation for HHS football players to set an academic and behavioral standard for the rest of the school

Ed Mulitalo (Offensive Line): The big man spoke about the many influences that he has had in his life through athletics, and how much impact a coach can have on a young man's life. In particular, while we all strive for and enjoy success on the field, Coach Ed talked about the true measure of success being measured by how many boys we are able to assist in becoming good men.

Trevor Jensen (Offense/Defense Skill): Coach Jensen spoke on proper game-day dress, which consists of the following:

Khaki/tan pants or slacks, no tears, rips, frayed or wrinkled

Belt if loops

White dress shirt, clean, not wrinkled

Herriman FB tie

Clean, matching socks

Good shoes, dress style, no gym/tennis shoes, clean/polished

Well groomed

Finally, Head Coach Larry Wilson got up and spoke about the excitement for the upcoming season, how appreciative he is of the support and enthusiasm of the community, and a reinforcement of many of the things that the assistants had talked about. In particular, he hit once again on the importance of attendance, attitude, and effort. He also went over the calendar with all in attendance, and outlined all of the dates from here until we kick off versus Hillcrest.

Reminder - 1st Workouts

Fellas,

I wanted to send you all a reminder that tomorrow night begins the first ever offseason training program for the Herriman High Football program. I am excited to get going and look forward to seeing you all there. We will be meeting at Fort Herriman Middle School at 6:30pm in the weightroom - it is important that you are there, READY TO GO at 6:30, not coming in the door at 6:30. We will introduce some of the things that we will be doing in regard to strength, conditioning, and football skill development. Please wear workout clothes - T-shirt, shorts or sweats (no jeans!), and athletic shoes. We will be going until 8:00. Tuesdays sessions will be run by the defensive staff, while Thursdays will be run by the offensive staff (same time and place). You need to be at both. Remember that we are guests at Fort Herriman, and we are also sharing the gym area with Jr. Jazz basketball. Please be respectful of all of those using the building. Bring any friends/acquaintances who have an interest in playing football for Herriman but have not yet filled out an info sheet. See you there!

Thought for the week
The beginning is the most important part of the work. - Plato

Let's begin something special, starting tomorrow night!

Best Regards,

Coach Wilson

A great night for a Meet n Greet

Last Thursday, the Herriman Football staff, led by Coach Wilson, held a Meet n Greet at Fort Herriman Middle School. The event was kicked off by Principal Steve Park, who welcomed the community and spoke about his vision for the school and the program as well as going in to detail about the reasons why he chose to hire Coach Wilson. The auditorium was packed with an estimated 450 people who were eager to hear about the fantastic program that will be run. Coach Wilson covered many topics in detail, including the off-season and pre-season schedule (which is posted on this blog), expectations, and many other things. The excitement in the air was palpable as the crowd could feel that good things are ahead. Each of the assistant coaches were introduced and spoke for about a minute, and each of them had some great things to say and showed that they have some wonderful things to offer. T-shirts were sold in the hallway and were gobbled up quite fast, and the crowd was treated to a video presentation which showed some of Coach Wilson's past coaching endeavors as a teaser of what all can expect to see from the Herriman Football program. Finally, the coaches spent about an hour meeting with parents and players, answering questions, and getting to know all who were in attendance.
The video, which drew raucous applause, can be seen below:

(After pressing the "Play" button, you should immediately pause it and let it load fully before watching, otherwise it gets a bit choppy. Also, keep in mind that the video can be viewed full-screen by clicking the little icon on the bottom right. Offense is shown for the first 5-6 minutes, followed by special teams, and then defense. Enjoy!)
