“We win together” Welcome to the 2006 Simsbury High School Football Season

We are entering a very exciting year for Simsbury High School football. This season, our young men are competing under the lights on a state-of-the-art artificial playing surface right on our high school’s campus. Our new stadium is the envy of our opponents and one of the state’s best high school sporting event venues. Seven years ago, this facility was the vision of the charter members of the Simsbury Gridiron Club. Thanks to the volunteerism of a growing number of Club members and the perseverance of Board of Education and community leaders, this vision has become a welcome reality. The Simsbury Gridiron Club is a booster club for football in Simsbury and, in particular, our high school program. Our common goal is to ensure that the students participating in football have safe, fun, and successful seasons. Money that the Club raises through various campaigns goes to pay for necessary equipment, scholarships, and resources not funded by the Board of Education that are needed to help sustain a strong and competitive football program. The Club is managed by volunteers and all of the net proceeds benefit the high school football program. Our efforts have resulted in the ability to fund additional coaching staff, our scoreboard, the weight room, along with a variety of other necessary equipment for players, coaches, and the practice field. One of our goals this season is to contribute to the upgrade and expansion of the visitor’s stands. We want to publicly thank our sponsors and encourage everyone in the community to patronize them. We especially want to recognize our scoreboard sponsors and our gold, silver, and bronze golf tourney sponsors. Without your support, we would not be able to produce a quality football product year in and year out. We invite anyone interested in Simsbury football to check out our website - www. simsburygridiron.org, become a member of the Simsbury Gridiron Club, and get involved in its booster activities. The Simsbury football family has built a solid program that is only sustainable with your help and volunteerism. Let’s make this season one of the best ever for our boys and our community.

Best of Luck to the 2006 Trojans!

Jim Wasz, president The Simsbury Gridiron Club

Simsbury Fight Song

Come on you loyal Simsbury Trojans All our hopes are pinned on you. We’ll fight to the end and never give up: We’ll show (opponents name) what we can do. Come on you loyal Simsbury Trojans: We want victory here today. So raise the score and fight for more For Simsbury High RAH RAH RAH. Message from the Principal Welcome to the new home of the Trojans! I want to take this opportunity to celebrate all of the parents, town officials, and community members who supported the construction of Simsbury High’s all-purpose field. This facil- ity, which was overwhelmingly approved at a special town meeting two years ago, is hosting its second season of Trojan football. However, this is the first season that our football program features a full slate of Friday night games! We expect tremendous community support for our football team as the Tro- jans compete for victories in the extremely competitive CCC North.

The football program - like all of our interscholastic teams – is vitally im- portant to the mission of our school. In addition to developing these young men’s skills in areas of teamwork, leadership, and commitment, their partici- pation in football should give them perspective about the importance of fam- ily and other priorities in their lives, especially the pursuit of academic excel- lence. Our student-athletes are most successful at Simsbury High when they strike the balance between effort in the classroom and effort on the field. For many years, that balance has been a hallmark of SHS football.

Thanks to Coach Grace and all of his assistants for their incredible commitment to these students. I also want to thank the players at all levels of the program for continuing the tradition of representing Simsbury High through their sportsmanship, respect, and hard play. I hope that you all enjoy a great season of Tro- jan football.

Neil Sullivan, Principal

Message from the Athletic Director I would like to thank all those involved in the Simsbury High School football community for the opportunity to be part of a program that is so rich in tradition and success. As the fall 2006 football season gets under- way, we are all excited about the completion of our new track and field project. With the installation of field lighting along with the artificial turf field, Simsbury now ranks as one of the top game facilities in the state. I would like to wish our coaches and players the best of luck throughout the entire season. It is through your participation that Simsbury High School gains its identity and creates a common bond between other schools. Your representation is important, as you are ambassadors for our school, and for that we thank and commend you.

I would also like to offer a special thanks to our seniors for your commit- ment and dedication over these four years. I am certain that through your efforts and leadership the 2006 football team will once again be very suc- cessful.

To our spectators, we hope that you enjoy the season and support our pro- gram in a spirit of competition that will bring pride and respect to our team, school, and community.

John Domaingue, Director of Athletics Message from the Head Coach s I start my 40th year of coaching football, I cannot help but think back on all those wonderful players I have coached and the parents who have supported the program. I guess what keeps me coming back are the new faces I see each year and I often wonder what will Abecome of them years down the road. Last year, I was fortunate enough to spend an evening with the ‘78 team. They won the league title with one loss that year. We had dinner and reminisced and I found out that they meet yearly in some spot in the US and talk about Trojans football. They presented me with a large trophy in the shape of a cup that had the following words inscribed: “Ten perfect plays. One perfect career. Building championship teams and champion people year after year.” I told them that I was so pleased that they still hang together and that next year I will be there with the trophy wherever they meet. A few weeks later, the ‘94 team came back for their class reunion and decided to surprise me by dressing up in their game jerseys and having dinner together complete with highlight films of their undefeated season. Players came from all over the globe with their children. I was so proud of both groups as they were living proof of the Trojans Family. They email and keep in touch with each other as well. I tell the guys every year that this is a football family and these players have lived it, continuously helping each other now in the game of life. That is so special that words cannot describe it. You have to live it! We have so many stories to share - but one touched me deeply. Last year, Lieutenant Colonel Ron Kapral stopped by to watch practice. He was a member of the 1970 undefeated team. He has spent a lifetime in the military and was living in Seattle. He stopped by to see practice and was on his way to Iraq to command a battalion of 200 tanks. In his speech to the team, he mentioned that he trained his battalion the same way I trained him, “The Trojans Way,” and he was now going to put kids not much older than our football players in combat in Iraq. He told our players how football prepares one for life and how it prepared him to be the best he could be and he wanted to thank me for making him understand what it takes to succeed. We have had so many great young men run, block, and tackle their way in our great stadium over the years and this year is no different. We have another great parent group and Gridiron Club supporters. We are finally playing “Friday Night Football” thanks to all those who made it possible. With Evan, Nick, Rob, and Mike leading the way the 2006 Trojans are in good hands. They are working hard preparing for a successful season, but more importantly their biggest challenge, the game of life, and I am confident that they and their teammates will have every bit of success as their predecessors have had. “GO TROJANS!” Joe Grace, Head Coach

At last year’s football banquet, Head Coach Joe Grace announced that 2006 would be his final campaign. Since taking over as Head Coach in 1990, Coach Grace has been the steward of Simsbury High School football. Thou- sands of young men’s lives have been influenced by Coach Grace and they are better men for it. During the past 16 years, Coach Grace has instilled in his players the qualities of leadership, teamwork, sportsmanship, commit- ment, and perseverance. He has taught the young men of Simsbury to be the very best they can be, both on and off the field. During his tenure as Head Coach, Joe Grace has led the Trojans to 4 Conference Championships, 2 State Playoffs, and over 100 wins. Joe will always be part of the Simsbury Football family, and we wish him the best of luck in the future. Hats off to Joe for a job well done! Coaching
