GALILEO LIONS FOOTBALL

Ses­sion 1 of 20 is on Wednes­day, April 24. The spring prac­tice sched­ule will be like a reg­u­lar prac­tice dur­ing the sea­son but with­out pads and tack­ling. Return­ing play­ers can use last season’s phys­i­cal, all oth­ers must have a cur­rent phys­i­cal to par­tic­i­pate. A 2.0 min­i­mum GPA is required at the 2^nd quar­ter report card. All play­ers cur­rently in a spring sport are expected to show up when they can.

Effec­tively imme­di­ately, Coach Espy who has a long his­tory with San Fran­cisco foot­ball and is more than qual­i­fied to coach, will take over as the frosh soph head coach. He played at Wil­son High School and had coached with Galileo prin­ci­pal, Mr. Black­sher at Mar­shall High School prior to arriv­ing at Galileo in 2012–2013. Join­ing Coach Espy’s staff will be JROTC instruc­tor Sarge Stephen Hardee and the most-experienced foot­ball coach in the AAA, Kevin Adams.

All Galileo players/prospects, as of this post, please do not visit or par­tic­i­pate on the Galileo Con­fes­sion page. Your words and par­tic­i­pa­tion can cause more harm than good to oth­ers. I haven’t been on the site and don’t intend to visit it. I know that I can’t make you stop read­ing the con­tent but I ask that you don’t add fuel to the fire. We are all expected to be good mem­bers of our com­mu­nity. What you think is funny can cause harm to oth­ers. Be smart and wise and stay off of the site.

Prospects Eli­gi­ble for Combine:

The Galileo Foot­ball Lead­er­ship appli­ca­tion is out! Click here to down­load the GFL APPLICATION. To be a “cap­tain” is to be a big brother in a fam­ily; he will know his family’s busi­ness and how to take care of his lit­tle brother. If you think you are ready for this respon­si­bil­ity, then you should apply. A “cap­tain” will be selected for each posi­tion along with a “vote in” cap­tain for each team. Only GFL cap­tains will be selected as “game captains”.

The 2013 Step It Up Com­bine @ Low­ell High School, Jan­u­ary 27^th. Four play­ers rep­re­sented Galileo at their first com­bine of 2013. Upcom­ing senior play­ers: Ter­rell Jef­fery (RB/LB), Don­tell Jack­son (WR/DB), Ronzel Fox (RB/LB), Isaac Arm­strong (TE/DE).

Con­grat­u­la­tions to the fol­low­ing Galileo Lions, who were voted into San­Fran­Preps All-City team, for an out­stand­ing 2012 sea­son! Play­ers were selected from AAA & WCAL schools. Of the 5 play­ers selected from Galileo, 4 are juniors and a lone senior (Acosta). Fox’s 150 tack­les were city-best. Arm­strong was effec­tive as a tight end but more so at defen­sive end for the Lions. Jack­son started the sea­son at out­side line­backer but returned to defen­sive back duties two games into league play. Acosta’s defen­sive effort in the mid­dle and Nelson’s com­mand of the Lions’ offense were key com­po­nents for Galileo’s late push to get into the play­offs. All play­ers except Arm­strong (sec­ond team AAA) were voted into the AAA All-City first team as well.
