Ranger Nation,

I wanted to give everyone information about next week’s practices for Monday and Tuesday. Monday and Tuesday are staff development/student holidays for the district. Next week is a game week against our district opponent Westwood High School. Our expectation is that all players attend practices despite not having classes. We have communicated this to our players and have stressed the importance of attending practice during this game week. We also have talked about how being a part of a team requires certain sacrifices which set them apart from the rest of the student body. Please help me and our staff by getting them to these practices. Failure to attend these practices will result in potential loss of playing time and make up conditioning. Below are the practice times for Monday and Tuesday of next week. I will be sending out the remainder of the weekly agenda on Saturday or Sunday.

Monday 10/11

Rangers,

Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Rangers on Thursday and Friday night this past week. This week all our teams will be playing Cedar Ridge. Times and locations are listed below.

5:00pm 9th Black vs CR @ Ranger
7:00pm 9th Red vs CR @ Ranger
5:00pm JV Black vs CR @ CRHS
7:00pm JV Red vs CR @ CRHS

(*Reminder on stadium guidelines at Gupton, main issues the district ran into from the last home game was clear bag policy and tailgating regulations. Please read the LISD Stadium Guidelines for more details)

This week will mark the 3rd week of the 2nd six weeks grading period. Please continue to encourage our Rangers to take advantage of the Ranger Time tutorial sessions and to complete all class assignments. Last week we were able to celebrate 118 players on either the All A or A/B honor roll for the first six weeks. What an awesome accomplishment!

Have a great week.

Go Rangers!

Rangers,

A big thank you to everyone that made Homecoming Week so special for our players and the community. Between the parade, pep rally, fireworks, and games, Ranger Nation was present and in full force. This week is open week for all our teams. We will have a slightly different weekly agenda because of this. Please read the below agenda carefully because some of our practice times are different. We are asking everyone to encourage all our Rangers to start the new six weeks strong in the classroom. We need them to get off to a great start academically. We are also going to restart our discount card fundraiser this week due to some technology issues we encountered with the app for many of our kids earlier in the year. We have requested that Adrenaline Fundraising provide actual discount cards to sell. We will send these cards home with the players this week to try and sell. Anyone who has already met their goal originally will not be required to sell the cards. We will use Friday to close out the fundraiser. Have a great week. Thank you. Go Rangers!

Rangers,

We are so thankful for everyone that came out on Thursday and made the trip to Abilene on Friday to support our Rangers. This week all our teams start a new season. District 25-6A starts this week for our football teams and we are excited about the challenge. Please notice that McNeil does not have a JV Black team, so we were able to schedule a game with Marble Falls on Thursday at 6pm at Marble Falls HS for our JV Black. The JV Red game time was also changed to 6pm at McNeil.

5:00pm 9th Black vs McNeil @ Ranger Stadium
7:00pm 9th Red vs McNeil @ Ranger Stadium
6:00pm JV Black vs Marble Falls @ MF Stadium
6:00pm JV Red vs McNeil @ McNeil Stadium

We have three weeks left in the six weeks. Please continue to encourage our Rangers to take advantage of the Ranger Time tutorial sessions. We are going to ask every player in our program to attend 2 tutorials this week during Ranger Time, after school, or before school.

We are continuing to ask that each athlete bring their own water container each day to practice much like they did in 2020. We will have water sources to refill those containers should they require a refill.

This week is homecoming week for our Ranger family. Please join us on Wednesday for the Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally that starts at VRHS and ends at Gupton Stadium. We are asking each varsity player to bring a bag of candy for the parade this week. You can send this to school with them on Monday or Tuesday preferably. This is an awesome event for all our friends and family to come and enjoy. Have a great week. Go Rangers!
