Cousino Participates in University of Michigan 7 on 7 Passing League Tournament

Members of the Cousino Patriots football team took part in a 7 on 7 tournament hosted by the University of Michigan football program in Ann Arbor. The tournament was two days long with the first day dedicated to pool play positioning and the second day devoted to the double elimination tournament itself.

The Patriots started strong winning their first four pool play games, but ended the first day with a 4-2 record. In the elimination rounds the Pats did not fare so well, losing their first two games. The tournament was a great experience for the team as they learned quite a bit about the plays, their fellow players, and the program in general.  Hopefully, the team will respond and be successful in upcoming tournaments and the upcoming football season.

Here are some pictures of the tournament at the University of Michigan.


National Athletic Testing System for NCAA Initial Eligibility

The National Athletic Testing System is a web site where players and parents can calculate their academic scores, GPA, and testing scores such as ACT and SAT.  The site also provides a schedule of the Michigan area skills testing combines.

If you want to play football at any NCAA Division I or II university as a freshman you must register and be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center. The NATS Academic Alert web site is a link where parents and players can calculate their GPA and core course requirements and follow their progress toward NCAA initial eligibility.

Motto

The motto for the 2009 Patriots Football Program is:

Pay the PRICE!!

P - Pride

R - Responsibility

 I -  Integrity

C - Champions

E - Excellence

“PAY THE PRICE”

To use all your courage to force yourself to concentrate on the problems at hand, to think of it deeply and constantly, and to plan.

Nothing worthwhile has ever been achieved without constant endeavor, some pain, and constant application of the lash of ambition…that’s the price of success.

The best kind of PRIDE is that which compels a man to do his very best even when no one is watching. The team that plays
with great pride is the team that plays from the first whistle to the last whistle.

RESPONSIBILITY to do what has to be done when it has to be done. NO EXCUSES!

Notice that the letter “I” is in the middle of P.R.I.C.E.
It represents “INTEGRITY” which is the core of a man. Men are constantly tested. Time and time
again, men with integrity finish every mission in a manner that is first-rate. If you have to think about something that is right or wrong, it’s wrong.

CHAMPIONS start in the class-room & weight room. Athletics and Education go hand in hand, you can’t have one without the other.

EXCELLENCE doesn’t just happen, it’s a decision you make every day. Excellence gives a player his drive to win by first preparing himself
and then inspiring him to complete his task soundly. Excellence motivates a person to do more than just complete the job, but finish it with distinction.

Team Spirit!

Get the Team Spirit with the Cousino High School Fight Song
