The Wright team, and Right Coach

Former Cardinal Player (sorry I didn't get his name), Coach Alex Jacobson and Toby Wright
Coach and Linda Murphy talking with players and parents

Thank you Toby for coming back and inspiring our kids! Dobson is his home, he told me.
Timing is everything, and luck, too. We asked him before he agreed to help at Hamilton
(they asked him and would pay him, those evil, breaking-AIA rules sharks)!


Coach Jacobson, his wife, Brie, Garrett, and Kyle. They are so awesome.
We are glad that they are going to move to Arizona


Our Boosters - Alyssa Hardman, Linda Sachs, Lori Avena, me, Michelle DeMetz,
Tamara Salinas, Linda Murphy, Jonelle Johnson--what a night!

Football season is going to start again. This will be my third year of helping with the Booster club. I really enjoying being part of something and trying to make it a better experience for the boys and for our Dobson Community. I have worked many hours launching a Golf Tournament, getting colored programs started, like other schools, getting banners, working with the marching band, too (Amanda is in that)and copying ideas from other Booster Presidents who have a great system. Thanks to Kristi Brake for all of her great ideas that we are using next Fall.

Tonight was an amazing turn-out for our new season. The reason it is new is because we have a new head coach from Utah, Alex Jacobson. He was the head coach of Jordan High, and is now moving with his family to Arizona. He is so motivating and is bringing hope, commitment, and a complete sense of community to our area. Many families have moved and have lost faith in our system. He is not only incorporating football, but also service that these players are going to do. In Utah the players read to the Elementary kids, and cleaned up their stadium after a game
He went to one of our Jr. high's, Hendrix, and invited them to come. They said that they have never had a Dobson Coach visit them! They have always felt like the forgotten step-child of Dobson, and they are closer to Dobson, then Rhodes Jr.
We had the best turn-out ever at our Kick-off meeting. I met a former Dobson High Football player, Toby Wright, who has played Pro Football and has his own gym. He is awesome and I asked him if he would come back and help our boys, and he is!
Our booster team is awesome. They are organized, and have made our transition great.
These moms are not afraid to speak out, and get the job done, and they have!
Look out Dobson, here we come!!!!
