Caiman Football Newsletter – September 22

Week 9 – Intensity

We weren’t supposed to play this week. But football doesn’t always follow the script—and neither do rivalries.

This week, we take on Coastal Academy. Two schools from the same family tree. Two programs on different paths, now colliding. And whether it’s official or not, this one feels like a rivalry.

We’ve got history. They’ve got hype. We’ve got roots. They’ve got noise. This game isn’t just another matchup—it’s a chance to show what separates tradition from trend.

That’s why our Word of the Week is Intensity.

Intensity isn’t just how loud you get—it’s how locked in you stay. It’s how you attack practice. How you sharpen every detail. How you lift each other. How you lead when the emotion fades. It’s physical, mental, and even spiritual. It’s all of you—pointed in one direction, for one purpose.

This week demands our full focus. Our full edge. Our full heart.

Let’s match the moment.
 Let’s bring the fire.
 Let’s play with INTENSITY.

Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening in football this week:
