I have created a new team website for the 2008 Teays Valley 8th Grade Football Team. I will use this website to post weekly (or daily) announcements. It is a very versatile site. I have included our 2008 schedule (with directions to the away fields we play at), a 2008 roster (names, # and position), an announcement link (where new information will be posted),  a coaches' bio page, an intercative calendar for August - October (just click on an event to get a detailed description), a player recognition page and also a page for each game we will play this year (PLEASE SEND  ANY PICTURES YOU TAKE OF THESE GAMES TO MY PROVIDED E-MAIL ADDRESS SO I CAN POST THEM ON THE SITE). There is also a  forum where you can discuss Teays Valley, Ohio State and NFL football (new topics can be added by you). Finally, be sure to sign the guestbook page and leave me any suggestions or comments you have about the site, I would really like to know what everyone thinks!

The address of the site is http://teaysvalleymiddleschoolfootball.webs.com/ (I recommend adding it to your favorites list, as the address is pretty lengthy.

Thanks,

Coach Woollard
