“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 Special thanks to: Joyce Crocker in the Athletic Department.

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.
