Well, we are just where we want to be. We have worked all season to get to this point. Saturday is going to be alot of fun and we hope that you can join us in Whitewater for the event. Moustaches are growing and by now even those, like myself, who cannot grow facial hair are starting to show some sort of “dirt” on our upper lips. I thought I would take some time this week and share a story with you all.

It has been an amazing couple of weeks for all who are connected to Johnnie Football. Still we are not done. Russ Gliadon wanted the moustache slide show but pictures were not taken. Hopefully we can get that going for next week. Everyone is excited to be going into this game and practice yesterday had a nice tempo to it, even though we were inside.

A few people have come up to me recently and asked what its like behind the scenes and before the first coin flip. It really starts on Friday night when some of the guys go to Damien and Patty Dumonceaux’s for a meal and some video games. Rock Band is still the favorite [...]

Having just returned back from several days of fishing on Lake Winnibigoshish we have to apologize for the slow turn around today on Andy’s latest report from Johnnie football camp.  As Andy indicates there hasn’t been a decision on the starting quarterback position however my bet is a replay of 2004 when AK-11 made his way onto the field as a 4th [...]

In our attempt to bring you right into the huddle during Johnnie Football Camp we’ve enlisted the talents of Johnnie senior defensive lineman Andy Pierskalla.  This fall will be the third season of action for Andy as extensive shoulder surgery in May of ‘07 forced the Farmington graduate to the sideline for a season of [...]
