Spring Football
Start date TBA – expect the first or second week of June
The start of spring football will be dependent upon the conclusion of the spring sports season.  The CIAC allows ten practices from Memorial Day until the last day of school.  We want as many of our players to participate as possible so we will wait until baseball and lacrosse season end before we start.
Spring football is not optional, if you plan on playing in the fall it is required that you attend.
Players who did not play this past fall are encouraged to attend.

Flex Bone camp
Camp run by flexbone association www.flexboneassociation.com, this is the offense we run.
Non-contact camp that will reinforce our work from spring football practice.
Monday June 25^th to Wednesday June 27^th, 4 – 8 pm at Guilford High School
Cost is $60 per player, current 8^th graders are highly encouraged to attend. (we want all of them there!)

University of New Haven Football Camp
July 30^th through August 3^rd
Full padded camp, great opportunity to build on what we worked on in spring football and at Flexbone camp.  All players are encouraged to attend.  (this would not include incoming freshmen – possible exceptions)
5:30 pm until dark – bus transportation is provided. 
Cost $95

** Print Registration/Flyer and Liability forms for this camp from Documents page located under Touchdown Club tab on the top menu buttons. Then mail forms to UNH. Mailing information on flyer.

Linemen Challenge
Held at Berlin High School, July 28^th, Saturday
Last year we entered two teams, it was a great day and experience for our players.

Summer Passing League
We are looking at dates to host a passing league on our turf one night per week.
I am also looking into including linemen challenge activities for these as well.

Sideliner Scholarships
Scholarship money is available for all players if they write a description of camp and how camp will help them and their team.  More information will be available through Lecia Scranton and the athletic department in the spring.  Last year no players took advantage of this, in the past players have received anywhere from $50 to $100 in scholarship to offset cost of camps

Guilford placed third out of five teams lifting 11, 260 lbs as a team.  The team was very competitive in all 5 weight classes.  Each team enters three athletes in the squat, bench press and power clean.  Hand won the event with 11,790 lbs, Amity was second with 11,475 lbs lifted, Branford was fourth with 11,235 lbs and North Haven was fifth with 9,710 lbs.

The effort by all participants was more than admirable.  Numerous Guilford athletes posted personal bests in their lifts and really turned up their intensity to the competition.  We play all four teams that we competed against so it was a great chance to see the strength of our competition.

Guilford’s numbers in the bench press are much improved over past years.  The bench is a good indicator of upper body strength.  In the under 160 lb weight class Joey Nault took first place in the bench press and KC Horton set a personal best with 210 lbs.  In the 161-180 lb weight class Duke Knapp was Guilford’s top bencher with 240 lbs lifted.  This was the 4^th highest total.  Ben Monte benched 230 lbs and Fred Trotta benched 225 lbs.  In the 181-200 lb weight class Dane Lawrence was second place with 245 lbs.  JP Peters benched 300 lbs, a personal best, to win the 201-220 lb weight class.  He won even though he weighed in at 194 lbs.  Ford Linell set a personal best with 225 lbs in the weight class.  In the over 220 lb weight class Shaun Sullivan benched 305 lbs to take third place, only 5 lbs less than the first place lift.  Josh Cash did well with a bench of 275 lbs in this weight class.

The squat is considered the king of exercises.  Our form is excellent and we take great pride in having better form that our competition.  In the over 220 lb weight class Shaun Sullivan was tied for 3^rd place with a lift of 465 lbs.  This was a personal best for Shaun by 30 lbs!  Shaun’s form is tremendous and he has worked very hard to be dominant in the squat.  Josh Cash squatted 385 lbs, a personal best by 20 lbs.  Freshmen Ian Robinson showed promise with a squat of 325 lbs on his final lift.  He lifted this easily and with great form.  In the 201-220 lb weight class JP Peters squatted 370 lbs to take 3^rd.  Aaron Cowee lifted a personal best 300 lbs and Ford Linell squatted 315 lbs.  In the 181-200 lb weight class Freshmen Mike Chapman improved his personal best from the previous Tuesday by 15 lbs and lifted 290 lbs.  The 161-180 lb weight class was well represented by Guilford.  Fred Trotta was second with 340 lbs and Duke Knapp was third also with 340 lbs.  Eric Zergiebel just back from basketball did a great job squatting 305 lbs.  In the under 160 lb weight class Joey Nault took second place with a lift of 290 lbs.  Freshmen Tom Stokes represented Guilford well with a personal best of 240 lbs.

The power clean combines strength and athleticism and is a difficult lift to master.  Joey Nault was 4^th in the under 160 weight class with a lift of 210 lbs.  In the 201-220 lb weight class JP Peters and Ford Linell took second and third place with lifts of 245 lbs.  Josh Cash and Shaun Sullivan set personal bests in the over 220 lb weight class with lifts of 215 lbs.

Joey Nault lifted the third most weight in the under 160 wieght class with a total of 745 lbs lifted in the squat, bench and power clean.  He was only ten lbs off of first place.  Duke Knapp was 4^th overall in the 161-180 lb weight class with a total of 785 lbs.  JP Peters was second in the 201-220 lb weight class with 915 total lbs.  Ford Linell represented Guilford well with 785 total pounds.  Shaun Sullivan was tied for second most weight lifted in the over 220 lb weight class with 985 lbs lifted.  Josh Cash was tied for fifth with a three lift total of 875 lbs. 

The Guilford Football team represented themselves very well in the competition.  There is still a lot of work to be done between now and the start of the football season but we have laid a great foundation that can help lead us to a very successful season.  There were some excellent individual achievements but without the efforts of all the competitors the team total would not have been as good.  We had a great winter with attendance, effort and improvement.  Thank you for all of the hard work and I am looking forward to keeping the momentum going into the season.

Thank you,
Coach Unger
