There will be lifting Friday 6-5 from 3-5. Coach Hough and I will be here for In-service till 3:00
There will NOT be lifting MOnday 6-8, although I will be here all day for in-service.

Be aware that testing starts on Wednesday. We will be testing each athlete on the following:
Bench Press
Squat
Power Cleans
Bench Hops
Shuttle Run
40 Yard Dash

Each mark achieved will equal a certain score and those scores will be added together to determine each athlete's overall condition.
We will be retested the last week before Camp begins.

The importance of summer workouts

When a team places a goal to strive toward they need to progress toward the goal or face the failure of not striving for the goal. We have a dream that has become a goal. The goal will mean reach a pinnacle never before reached by a Northwestern Football team. The Goal of a State Title can be reached and it continues with hard work over the summer. Ww will be working offense and defense all summer to be better prepared to achieve our goals. SUmmer workouts start 6/10, that is next Wednesday!
Region Champions
District Champions
State Champions

Summer schedule and letter available

I have updated my wikispaces with the summer schedule. I have posted the schedule through the first game of the season. Please note that there is a change to the game schedule. We start a week later than last year. This means that the State Championship will be December 18th this year.

Fall football schedule

I have updated coachshaw.wikispaces.com with the schedules of the Varsity and the JV teams. I am not sure at this point if Reynolds will offer to play a JV game or not. We are working to have a game that week though.
I am also not sure if NE will be played on thursday instead of Friday. Potentially, we will play the Girard game on Saturday as well.
Homecoming is the Maplewood game and General McLane will be Senior night.

Lifting schedule

To update the lifting schedule for the team through the end of the school year, we will be lifting on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:00 Am for athletes who work or play other sports (it really is not bad after a week of so you are used to it), and 2:45 in the afternoon. This is for the Varsity players. The Middle school athletes lift on Tuesday and Thursday at 2:45.
These times will be consistent till the end school. If there is a change then an announcement will be made through the school.
We will have an organizational meeting during school in May to establish summer schedule. At that time I will send home a summer commitment letter.
Go Cats

Thanks Coach!

What a great "Mom's Day" meeting. I think that I can speak for all of us when I say it was enjoyable and educational!

Mothers Day

We have set a firm date for the Mothers day event. We will meet at 9:00 AM on March 7th. It will last till 12:00, or whenever the questions come to an end. There will be an invitation sent out to all mothers. We are hoping to have an RSVP so that we can plan the food for the event. We are going to have Bagels, coffee, fruit, juice etc. I hope to see you there.

Mothers Day

I want to announce my intentions to hold the first annual Mothers Day. I am going have a Saturday with the players mothers only. Just YOU and ME for a couple of hours. I want to talk with you about what we are doing here with your boys. I want you to have the opportunity to ask questions you may not be able to ask or get answers to from the men in your life. This will be open to ALL mother, or female guardians, of Northwestern players grades 7 through 11. You have been with the program for at least one year and you deserve my time.
The date and the time are still to be announced. I am hoping to serve a meal to you (Mrs Carr in the HS has offered to help with this). Any help or ideas are welcome.
Sincerely,
Coach Shaw

Time moves quickly

I watched the wrestling match last night. I noticed that the younger boys, the middle school boys, who had been in the weight room during the month of January, proved to be stronger than their opponents. Coach Hough has been religious about getting them in the weight room and it is showing.
This being said, the few young men who have attended the majority of the lifting session with me through the winter have shown tremendous improvements. The wrestling coach point out to me that Josh Paradise has shown great improvement as a wrester due to the lifting time.
For those of you who were in the film session following the General McLane game, you know that in order to beat good teams we have to put the time in NOW!! We will win those games during the off-season, not during the game!

Camp is only 30 weeks away. That is 6 more lifting cycles.

Lifting under way

Yesterday afternoon coach Hough brought the MS wrestlers to the weight room to lift. This was the first time lifting for a few of the boys. They learned some of the basic techniques of weight training. Our goal for now is to teach them to lift properly, not break their backs with too much weight.
Thanks to the varsity players who stayed to help teach those younger players the lifts. This effort by the upper classmen is a sign that the program is building and the players are taking ownership.
For those who have not been to lifting, I am expecting to see you there. We are working on team building in addition to speed and strength. All 9th, 10th and 11th graders should be at lifting.

Off season Lifting

We will begin off season weight training today and will continue every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. These session are non-mandatory until January, but are highly recommended as we develop a STRONG Wildcat football program.
Every opportunity to get stronger should be taken advantage of. The session will run from 2:45 till 4:00 on those days. It does make a difference whether you lift with the TEAM or on your own!

Wildcat Banquet

Update on the Banquet.
At the last booster meeting we decided to have the banquet on December 14th at 5:30. It will be Pot Luck style!! Like coach said, we are asking families to bring a dish. We have organized it by classes.

*Freshman: Desserts
*Sophomores: Salads
*Juniors & Cheerleaders : Potatoes
*Seniors: Vegetables

The meat will be provided by the booster club.
A letter will be going out soon with more information about the banquet. We hope you can all come to honor the team for a GREAT SEASON!

Come and j0in us at the next booster meeting which will be Nov. 18th at 7:00 at the High School
