In order to reach our team’s highest potential, it is going to require an “extra” commitment and
high expectations. Nobody dreams about being merely ordinary! The difference that will help
the COUGARS become EXTRAORDINARY, rather than ordinary, is doing all the “extra”
things that average and ordinary people and teams do not. In order to be ready for varsity
competition, we are encouraging each COUGAR football player to put in some “extra” effort
during the off-season, including in the classroom.

In order to be reach our potential, our goal for each COUGAR football player, is to earn at least
150 “COUGAR CHAMPIONSHIPS COMMITMENT POINTS”. To qualify for the possibility
of becoming a captain, a minimum of 175 points must be earned. Any athlete that earns 200 or
more points and completes the season, will automatically earn a varsity letter.
