Rock The City Council

We love our city. I'm sure that means we've all properly applauded our dutiful City Council members, right? Well, if not, you've got a chance to for a touchdown and and extra point tonight at 6:40pm (meeting starts at 7pm).

The Build The Rock campaign is on the agenda. They are considering making a contribution to speed up the building process. We cannot overstate what up-to-date facilities would mean to our team, our school, and our community. If you've been to even one away game, you probably know that our current football facilities do not measure up to basically anyone else in the area. From the field to the press box, everything needs updated.

Don't get me wrong, Red Stanley stadium has been a great home for many years. It has seen a small school program rise from before Westfield was even considered an official city, to a 5A State Runner-up football contender. Many of us have a lot of good memories on that field. Even so, we need a new one. We've been fighting to get one for years now it seems, and we're so close. Anything that can help get us over the hump is worth doing.

So, if you can, stop by tonight. Wear Westfield Football gear. Applaud the council members for doing a good job. And hopefully encourage that contribution.

Support Rocks Football. Golf.

An announcement from Coach Carnes...

The Westfield Football Team is selling Wood Wind golf cards for a fund raiser. If you play golf at all in the summer this is a fantastic deal (I purchased 3 of these two years ago just because it saved me a bunch of money golfing). You purchase the card for $50, the football team gets $20 and you get:

Free green fee during a weekend (you just pay for cart) Two free greens fees during the week (you pay for cart) Five buy one get one free green fees (weekdays or after 11am on weekends) 1 $80 golf lesson for $25

If you use the free weekend green fee this card pays for itself. You get over $350 worth of discounts for $50 and almost half of your money goes to supporting our football program. If you would like to purchase cards for yourself, your family, or your friends just let Coach Carnes know by email: carnesb@wws.k12.in.us

Below is a picture of an actual card if you want to see it or have questions about any of the details that might not have explained well enough. If you want to see an actual card contact Coach Carnes. Please make checks out to Westfield Athletic Booster Club, if you are paying with cash please put your money in an envelope with your name and how much money is in the envelope, get that to Coach Carnes and he will get you a card.

Please feel free to share this with any husbands, wives, or friends that golf.

Congrats Mitch Turley!

Mitch will be leaving quite the legacy when he wraps up his time as a Rock in the coming months. We consider ourselves very blessed to have coached such a fine young man. Mitch has earned many awards in his time with us, and recently was honored yet again. Selected as one of only forty in the entire state, Mitch was named an Indiana Academic All-Star. The award marks only the third time a Rock has been so-honored in school history.

Mitch elected to honor Coach Gilbert as his favorite educator.
Mitch will be attending MIT in the fall, studying biochemical engineering while playing football and lacrosse. Sounds like quite the schedule! We wish nothing but the best for such a hard-working Rock and know he will continue to be a representative of the very best of our football family.
