Dear Ranger Athletics Family,

On Monday evening, Rodney Vincent was named the athletic director/head football coach at Shallowater HS, a suburb of Lubbock. We are ever thankful for Coach Vincent’s incredible leadership, tireless commitment to our athletes, and his heartfelt relational capacity. For the past twelve years, Rodney has led Ranger football and supported all VRHS athletic programs with integrity, passion, distinction, and excellence. Coach Vincent guided Ranger football and all Ranger athletics through numerous successful seasons, annual postseason appearances, many notable firsts for Ranger athletics, and helped build a tradition of excellence. We are extremely grateful for the Vincent family’s significant contributions to Ranger Nation and wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Coach Vincent’s last official day at VRHS will be Monday, June 21st. 

The head football coach opening was posted today, Tuesday, June 15, by LISD. The search for our new head football coach/athletic coordinator to lead VRHS athletics is our top priority. Hiring someone who will create a “Best for the World” environment for our student-athletes, coaches, and families is of paramount importance. Vista Ridge HS is blessed with the world’s greatest students/families, and LISD athletic leadership and myself will work together to secure a coach who will champion our shared vision and values. Whenever there is transition with a head football coach/athletic coordinator, it understandably creates uncertainty. We will diligently work to hire the right person to lead Ranger athletics and Ranger football. Thank you for your patience throughout this process and for your continued support of VRHS athletics. 

Go Rangers!

Paul A. Johnson
Principal, Vista Ridge HS

Rangers,

We are so proud of the campers we had this past week. They worked extremely hard, and no doubt improved on strength and conditioning. It is important that everyone bring plenty of water as the temperatures continue to climb. If you have not registered your athlete for SWSC, it is not too late. If you have any registration questions, please email todd.brown@leanderisd.org. Thank you. Go Rangers!

Rangers,

I hope everyone had a great last week of school. Our 2021 Summer Weight Speed Camp (SWSC) will start on June 7th. This week we will open the weight room for anyone that wants to come and lift on T, W, Th, but there are no scheduled or mandatory football activities. We would like to focus this week on making sure everyone has an updated physical plan, registered for SWSC, and Rank One forms filled out. All links are listed below. I will also attach Important Dates for everyone again and send updated versions out if anything changes. We know this was a tough school year for numerous Ranger Families and athletes. Please let me know if I can help you in anyway, and we look forward to a normal training schedule starting on June 7th. Enjoy your time this summer. Go Rangers!

Rangers,

Thank you to everyone that helped create a great community event this past Thursday night! The youth clinic, performances, food trucks, and the fireworks were amazing! This is our last week of school so we will be working on getting impact tests, SWSC registration, UIL Paperwork, Rank One Forms, and Physical Forms wrapped up. Please help us work ahead on all these items. In addition to this, we will have strength workouts, 7 on 7 workouts, and looking at academic issues. As we discussed in our Parent Meeting, it is important that we have a great summer with strength & conditioning and skill development. We are so proud of how hard our players worked this spring and are grateful that we were able to have spring football. The challenge now is to have a great summer starting with SWSC on June 7th. All paperwork and summer camp registration are linked below. We want to wrap all these items up as soon as possible. Have a great week and summer. Go Rangers!

Rangers,

I cannot believe this is the last week of Spring Football. The workouts are going by fast. This will be a
big week for our football family and community. The Red vs. Black Spring Football Game is back this
Thursday but will be at Gupton Stadium. Please help us get the word out to all your neighborhood,
family, and friends. We are so thankful for the doctors, parents, and student trainers that helped with
physicals. If your student/athlete was not able to attend the physicals, please make sure they have one
before June 1st. All paperwork and summer camp registration are linked below. For us to be prepared
for the Fall, if your athlete is in town, please make sure they plan on attending the SWSC and skill
sessions. We want to wrap all these items up as soon as possible. Another interesting schedule this week
with testing. We look forward to seeing everyone at Gupton Stadium on Thursday night. Have a great
week. Go Rangers!

Ranger Parents,

This is just a reminder that we have physicals tomorrow at VRHS if you are interested.  Please see attached flyer.  Also, below are the links for rank one and our physical form.  We also handed a form to every player several days ago.  LISD informed me that all physicals will expire on June 1 unless you have recently gotten a physical.  If your athlete is getting a physical on campus tomorrow, they have to have the history part filled out and signed by parents and student.  Also, physicals on campus are $20 cash or check payable to LISD.  Please help us get this paperwork complete, because an athlete has to have a current physical to attend our camps this summer.  Have a great day.  Go Rangers!

Rangers,

Happy Mother’s Day to all our wonderful Ranger Moms. We hope you are having a great weekend. We have multiple tests on campus going on this week, so please see agenda for practice times. We will also be starting our Spring email fundraiser campaign over the next 2 weeks. Please continue to send plenty of water with your athlete. Remember we have physicals this Friday. Have a great weekend. Go Rangers!

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!
