What a great way to bounce back after our dead week!
Our high school athletes had an outstanding week, spending three days at camp. We competed and improved alongside Ga***rd and our Week 1 opponent, Houghton Lake, then wrapped up the week by traveling to Mt. Pleasant for 7-on-7 competition while our linemen stayed home to continue developing their skills.
Our middle school athletes continue to impress, putting together three days on the field and in the weight room on Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. It's exciting to see our younger players embracing the culture and laying the foundation for the future of Grayling Football.
Since the start of the summer, 83 athletes have walked through the weight room doors, and our average attendance has increased to 44 athletes per session. That's progress, and it's a direct reflection of athletes choosing to invest in themselves and their teammates.

This year's motto is "Love the Process."The process isn't just about Friday nights—it's about every workout, every rep, every sprint, every meeting, and every opportunity to improve. Success isn't built in one day, but it is built one day at a time.
Our D.E.A.D. mindset—Dedication, Effort, Attitude, and Discipline—is what drives that process. Every athlete who chooses to show up is making an investment in our team and our future. Every workout attended is another brick in the foundation we're building together.
Let's keep encouraging one another, raising our attendance, and stacking great days. Keep showing up, keep competing, and keep trusting the process.
Love the Process. Live the D.E.A.D. mindset. Great things are built one day at a time.
