Rangers,

Thank you again to everyone that attended our meeting on Monday night. We had a great turnout. It was great to kick spring football off this week. Our players did an outstanding job with our install schedule in all phases of the game. This week, we had to make more changes to our schedule, so we are attempting to get this out early enough for everyone to plan. We will work out Monday morning (6:30am), Tuesday afternoon (3:15pm), and Wednesday (2:30pm). I apologize about all the different times as our school/testing schedule is different this year. The link below is the new physical form for next year, and I will also attach the physical flyer for our physicals on campus. Thank you again for your patience. Have a great weekend. Go Rangers!

Rangers,
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Thank you to everyone that came to support our players at
the JV & 9th Football Awards Ceremony and National Signing Day. This week, we will be starting
Spring Football Tuesday morning. This past Fall we had to get used to changes. This first week we have
already had to make changes to morning workouts. We apologize, but this is what is best for this week
with early release, testing, etc… We are having a great off-season, and everyone in our program is excited
to get to work on Tuesday. All practice times listed on the agendas will be start times, so players will
need to make sure they allow enough time to get ready and be on the field. Also, 9th-11th grades will
practice at the same time. Everyone needs to bring a water jug and fill out the screener before they
arrive on campus. Please remember we have Football Information Night, Monday night at 7pm on zoom.
Have a great week. Thank you. Go Rangers!

Dear Football Parents of the Class of 2021,

I would like to thank each and every one of you for the opportunity to coach your son. I am very aware of the sacrifices that each of you made in order that he could be a part of our football family. While I realize that at times it can be difficult to see all of the benefits, I can tell you that as he moves on through life and into manhood, he will use many of the experiences he has had in football. I know this, because I went through it as a player and I see it year after year as a head coach.

Each senior class is different, yet very special to me. I have missed them every day since we came back to school in January. After reflecting on the highs and lows of our season, I keep coming back to what an incredible journey this group of seniors have had to overcome. Coaching this great group of young men through a pandemic made me realize and appreciate how special the game of football really is and how much I enjoy the opportunity to coach them. There were many people that believed that we may get to play 3 games at best, but because of the type of young men they are, we were able to have a football season. The way they practiced and played through all the adverse situations that we were presented was commendable. There may never be another Ranger Football team that understands and appreciates the game of football and our Ranger Family quite like this group of young men. I have enjoyed getting to know these young men over the past 4 seasons. This senior class did so much for our football program, the community, and Vista Ridge High School. It is truly amazing how they have raised the standard and changed the culture not only in football but in our school. They continued to fight and play hard all the way to the end. My hope is that they take that fight into the next chapter of their life.

I can’t tell you enough how proud I am of them. Every year I choose the following quote by General Eisenhower for this letter because it reminds us all of the life lessons your son has learned from this special game. I would like to thank you again for all your support for these young men. Our booster club and district are monitoring the new protocols and regulations to see when the best time will be to recognize your son at the Ranger Football Banquet.

Thank you. Go Rangers!

Sincerely,
Coach Vincent

” I consider it deeply significant that in all my commands during three major conflicts, I have never had to relieve an officer from duty under combat fire who had competed in high school football. I believe that football, perhaps more than any other sport, tends to instill in men the feeling that victory comes through hard work, team play, self-confidence and an enthusiasm that amounts to dedication.”

-General Dwight D. Eisenhower

Special breeds wear special clothes. Trained to wear crowns at a young age. The fields will change but primary strategy will remain the same. Invest in yourself and prepare for everything. It is competition and it is still played to win. You can take us with you, so they know you are always coming with relentless effort… The Ranger Way! ~ Class of Ranger Family

Ranger Parents,

I wanted to thank you for all your support this football season. In April, I am not sure anyone could have predicted the challenges that we would face just to have games this year. Thank you for jumping on board with all our protocols and helping us continue to play as many games as possible. After seeing so many forfeits and game cancellations across the state of Texas, we feel fortunate to have played as many games as we did. It is never easy for a season to come to an end no matter when it is or how it ends. However, I can tell you that even in a pandemic, we woke up every day looking forward to working with this great group of football players. Despite not being able to do so many things we enjoy that surround our program, they had fun and grew as young people. This entire process made me thankful and appreciate every day that I get to coach and hopefully have an impact on a kid.

This week, Monday through Thursday we will be working on closing out academics, individual player meetings, and testing. Friday is an early release day and we will have team meetings virtually. We will continue to send out information on all upcoming events. Thank you again for letting us work with these amazing kids.

Have a great week. Go Rangers!

Ranger Parents,

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday. We should know by Tuesday who our official opponent will be for the playoffs. I will continue to keep everyone updated as information is available for our Bi-District Playoff game. It is very important after the holiday that if your athlete is not feeling well that they do not show up at school. Our goal is to continue to keep everyone safe at school and to keep our Varsity football team playing as long as possible. It is important that we continue to follow all guidelines while on campus. We will reemphasize all our protocols with our athletes on Monday morning. This will be a big three weeks for all of them academically, encourage them to finish strong! Thank you for your patience and support as we prepare to start an exciting season of playoff football.

Have a great week. Go Rangers!

Ranger Parents,

Thank you again for your patience. Unfortunately, we were not able to find 3 games in such a short notice, but we are extremely proud of our players that got to play this week. Finding make up games for our Varsity has also been tough for various reasons.

We are so proud of our entire program for making the 6A State Football Playoffs this year. Our athletes at every level have worked extremely hard. Currently, we do not have any new information on games, and the rest of our district opponents are still playing district games. However, I did want to send our plan out for next week for our Varsity and JV teams. We will continue to improve and get our Varsity/JV players on a playoff type schedule while we wait to find out who our 1st round game will be
against. Our 9th grade teams will be off this week.

With Thanksgiving coming up this next week, I wanted to pause and let you know how thankful I am to be working with your kids. They are incredible people, and I enjoy every day, that we were not promised this year, to coach them. If you need anything or need a place to go for Thanksgiving, please let me know. Our family is always ready to help during the holidays. Please continue to be diligent in helping us keep them safe while they are away from school, so we can continue to play football.

Have a great week. Go Rangers!

Ranger Parents,

We had an incredible crowd on Thursday night at Gupton Stadium. Thank you for showing up and creating a great atmosphere for our players as they fought extremely hard. Last Wednesday night our cow bell crew was also in full force. Thank you for encouraging our players at all our events. This week we have our last district football games. It has become a little more difficult to find games, and we are thankful that we were able to find a full schedule for this week. As of right now, we will have 4 games on Wednesday night. Everyone is doing a great job with all our protocols, but we must continue to be diligent. Please, continue to help us hold them accountable away from school.

It is hard to believe, but we are already at the 3-week mark at the end of this week. We all must work together to continue to push our players academically. Parents, we are trying to push players to eliminate all missing assignments (M) from the grade book. Remember LISD is having early release on Wednesday. Please see all the changes for our Wednesday schedule.
