WELCOME FOOTHILL COUGAR FANS
TO THE 2021 FOOTBALL SEASON>>> WELCOME TO COUGAR COUNTRY FOR THE 2020-21 FOOTBALL SEASON! On behalf of our players, coaches and our entire staff at Foothill High School, thank you for being here to support our student athletes. It is always bitter sweet to begin a season without the familiar names and faces from the previous year but as you will all see, we have lots of talented players who have risen to the next level to begin this season. We continue the good fortune of having Joey Brown, Jason Sanchez and Kevin Bennett lead our varsity, JV and freshmen squads. Their passion and dedication are contagious and their commitment to our students has lasting impact well beyond high school. In addition to success on the field, these coaches and their staffs impart values on our players that lead to pride, unity and humility. It is hard to find a scene as fun and inspiring as fall high school football. Enjoy the game and come back again to support our kids.

HEAD COACH >>A MESSAGE FROM THE FOOTBALL
I want to welcome you to Bill Johnson Community Stadium, home of the Cougars. You will find no other venue as appealing as what we offer in Palo Cedro. Our school receives faithful support from its neighboring communities better than any other school in the area. Our football tradition began in 1991, when our school opened on Eureka Way in downtown Redding. In 1999, Foothill opened its doors to its current home in Palo Cedro. The wonderful facilities you see today are a product of efforts from our athletes, parents, and boosters.
The main goal of our football program is to teach young men core values of integrity, trust, and citizenship. Character is as important on the field, as it is off the field. We use football as a vehicle to teach these life lessons. Our alumni can be found throughout our community giving back to its friends and neighbors. We believe Foothill High School is the best kept secret in the North State, but we want to change that. We hope that every time you see one of our athletes in the community wearing the red, silver, and black that they represent our core values and inspire positive change in others. I love seeing the cougar head on t-shirts and vehicles throughout the community, because it represents so much more than a school or team. It represents a family of people committed to making each other better. Please make yourself at home in our community. Feel free to stop by our practice facilities during the week. We’d love to see you and we appreciate your support of our fine student athletes.
ENJOY THE GAME AND GO COUGARS!
