WELCOME SAMO VIKING FANS
TO THE 2021 FOOTBALL SEASON>>> Parents, students, and fans of SAMO football, welcome! I would like to thank you for coming to tonight’s game. Your participation and support of our students and coaches is what keeps this program so enriching for our school. We believe that athletic competition builds character and encourages our students to work through challenges as part of a team. Many of the lessons learned on the playing field today become important building blocks for the future of our young athletes’ lives. Our program strives to promote and reinforce principles of good sportsmanship, and while our philosophy holds that sports are very important, they are only one portion of our total educational program.

HEAD COACH >>A MESSAGE FROM THE FOOTBALL
IT IS WITH GREAT PRIDE THAT I WELCOME YOU to the stands for what is sure to be another memorable season of Santa Monica High School football. After a summer full of tough practice and building team relationships, we enter this fall with high hopes. I encourage you to support our players and coaches in any way you can, and I thank you for your participation in the game tonight. Our goal is to build and improve upon an athletic program that enriches our students through hard work, cooperation, and enthusiasm. We are constantly impressed by the dedication shown by our players and cannot wait to see what they are capable of not only during tonight’s game, but into the future as well. On behalf of the football program, I would also like to thank Gameday Media and the local business sponsors for their help in supporting our efforts in creating such a high-quality program. Please consider supporting our sponsors with your business and be sure to thank them for supporting Santa Monica Football. Lastly, to those who have supported us in the past and to those who are supporting us now, to our sponsors, our community, our administration, our families and friends, we say THANK YOU AND GO VIKINGS!
