Erik Bakos
Tuesday, December 16
A tragic house fire has brought great harm to a family in our football program. Erik Bakos, a JV player, and his brother and mother were hospitalized due to injuries from the fire. As far as we know at the moment, Eric and his mother remain at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. The fire occurred early Monday morning; from media reports, it appears that most, if not all, of the family’s possessions have been damaged or lost.
To keep up with Erik’s progress, a website has been established at caringbridge.org. Be sure to sign the guestbook to show your support for Erik and his family.
Longer range, once the situation stabilizes and new housing arrangements are known, the booster club plans to start a drive for furnishings, clothing, food cards, and other basic needs. Additional information will be posted to the booster club website as warranted.
If you wish to contribute now toward the family's needs, the booster club is currently taking monetary donations. You can give cash, checks (made out to SPHS Booster Club with a note "Bakos Family," or to Misty Bakos) or money orders to Rose Garza, who is in the SPHS front office. When they are ready, the donations will be turned over to the family.
Please keep the Bakos family in your prayers during & beyond this holiday season.

What Do Playoffs Mean to the Players and Their Families
Wednesday, October 29
With the victory over Cedar Park, Varsity now has 5 district wins and has secured an appearance in the 2008 Division 1 AAAAA playoffs for the second year in a row. Based on our experience last year, here is some general information to remember:
- Playoffs begin the first week following the conclusion of the regular season, and run for six straight weeks, including Thanksgiving week.
- The UIL allows playoff games to be scheduled on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. We won’t know the day, time, or location until each game is finished, and Coach Chessher has contacted and reached an agreement with the next opposing team.
- When the time comes, the coaches will announce which sub-varsity players will continue to practice with the varsity team during the playoff run. Some freshman, and many JV players may continue to practice during the post-season. It’s up to the coaches, but a few of these sub-varsity players may be invited to dress out with the varsity during the playoff games.
- Should we make it to the third round of the playoffs, practices would likely be scheduled through the Thanksgiving holiday break.

What can we do to help? Provide a substantial lunch for our 13 hungry coaches! Volunteers provide lunch at noon the Sunday after each game, starting the Sunday after the Alamo Heights games. You don't have to do it alone -- buddy up with a few of your friends to provide a meal, dessert, and drinks for our 13 hungry coaches.
