One of the things I enjoy the most about coaching football at Grandville and the OK Red is that every game is an event. There is an excitement that builds through the week and it brings out the best in our schools. This week is no different as two very different teams clash

Not sure we appreciated Coach Cut enough, one of the truest statements about what it means to play the O Line…

Alright here we go, official start of the ‘26 season. This will be my 27th season coaching high school football, has flown by but the game, the mentors, ups and downs have all taught me things I never would have learned without them.

Understanding, appreciating and missing Coach Saban more and more as he continues enjoying his retirement. Absolutely agree with him here. I adore the young men and women who have played for me, but it was never about being their friend, but it was absolutely about them.

With preseason here and in full swing, this video kind of hit home, talks about intention vs action. I think all of us can agree we always intent to improve ourselves, families, teams, etc…but what do we really end up actually doing to make this hopes/dreams into realities?

The quiet before the storm, and the inevitable arrival of the Preseason. As always, the boys are all in. Proud of each of our 100+ young men who sacrifice their time, energy and effort for the ‘G’. GO DAWGS!

2nd- 5th Grade Youth Camp for 2026 is in the books. Always good to see our high schoolers interact with our younger kids, always a good time. Even with weather issues it was a great turnout!
