WELCOME NEWPORT KNIGHT FANS
TO THE 2021 FOOTBALL SEASON>>> Newport football is back! It has been a long road to get here and we are so excited for our players to take the field again. This season may be shorter, the stadium may be quieter, but after all we’ve been through in the last year it is going to feel really good to see our boys get to play football again and if the limitations on fans don’t let you see the game in person, you will be able to watch our live broadcast on the NFHS network.
NEWPORT 2021 MEDIA GUIDE PRODUCED BY: GAMEDAY MEDIA
We are so proud of this group of young men and their coaches. Kids and teenagers have shouldered a heavy burden during this pandemic and throughout it our team has shown their resiliency, their commitment to each other, and have continued to show up for each other without knowing what the future might hold for their team. Hopefully this football season is a sign of better days to come and a return to a more normal life, especially for young men that have been asked to sacrifice so much for the safety of others. Stay healthy and GO KNIGHTS!

FROM THE FOOTBALL
Dear Newport Football Family,
Football is back! It is with great pleasure that I write to you as Head Football Coach of the Big Red Machine. I’m extremely excited for this opportunity to return home to my alma mater and give back to a community that has given me so much. There is a lot to be proud of surrounding our football program right now. First, I’d like to recognize and honor the resilience of our families, coaches, and particularly our players, who are the lifeblood of this program. It’s been over 15 months since the last time we played a football game and obviously much has changed in that time. Being confronted with change after change and having their worlds turned upside down in so many ways, our players continue to adapt and turn their obstacles into opportunities. Beginning late March, we dove into the Character Challenge competition against 17 other teams around the country. Our discipline and connectedness to one another allowed us to finish 2nd overall, along with 2 separate weekly wins. This is a testament to the young men in this program and makes me very proud as their coach. Once football conversation could begin again in early June, our coaching staff put together a 6-week VIRTUAL spring ball, quickly becoming online teachers and tech experts. During that time, we also welcomed 21 incoming freshmen into our Newport football family. Small POD practices commenced early October and continued up until now, when our long-awaited season has finally arrived! Aside from the obvious chance to compete for victories on the field, it’s been so fun and rewarding to see our kids TOGETHER. Truly exemplifying the concept of football FAMILY, these young men & coaches of character light up at the chance to be around each other doing what they love to do. We’re so proud of our boys for their resilience, connectedness, and hope in the face of major upheaval during this pandemic. While this season may be shorter, the stadium may be quieter, after all we’ve been through in the last year it is going to feel really good to see our boys get to play football again.
GO KNIGHTS! Proudly,
Coach Drew Oliver
