It’s hard to believe I’m in my eleventh year on ‘the Hill’ as the head football coach. With players from my earliest teams now in the thirties, I’m taken back by how time truly flies. We are also celebrat-ing a decade of the Hampden-Sydney Gridiron Club. As I’ve stated many times, our success on

the football field has run parallel to the generous and helping hands of our loyal supporters. A scorecard of the dramatic improvements in the football program since 1999:

•Irrigation systems for both practice fields•Planting of Bermuda grass on both practice fields•Gammon weight room for athletes only (2002)•New Nike game jerseys (home and away)•Renovation of Fulton Field (2003) •Digital cameras and state-of-the art computer software•Film tower on practice field•Vastly improved travel and lodging arrangements for the student/athletes•Completion of Everett Stadium (2007)•New scoreboard at Fulton Field•Completion of Kirk Athletic Center featuring: ◦Brand new football locker room ◦6 meeting rooms for athletes ◦Brand new offices for coaches ◦Film room for staff ◦Brand new training room ◦Air conditioned space throughout the building
