Football Looks To Build On 10-2 State Quarterfinal Season
The Football program is coming off an impressive 10-2 season that saw the Vikings advance to the State Quarterfinals. The program looks to build on the successful 2019 season as they return several big contributors from last season as well as add a talented group of young players and newcomers to the mix for 2020. Football is currently ranked 5th in the State, 6th in the STL Today poll and 339th Nationally. You can view the STL Today article that features a look inside the 2020 season, a Mid Rivers Newsmagazine article that highlights the new field and the upcoming season and a GSV video that previews the upcoming season by clicking the three links below. Good luck to Football as they begin their season this Friday on the road at Hickman.

Spectator Guidelines Released For Howell Events
Due to Covid 19 the FHSD has released updated guidelines for fans attending Howell events that help to promote the safety of all students, staff, parents and fans. For the beginning of the 2020-21 school year all Howell venues will have reduced seating capacity to help ensure social distancing. Howell venues will be marked for socially distanced seating and all fans in attendance will be asked to socially distance from non-family members. Seating will be marked so families can sit together while socially distancing from others. In addition to social distancing, at all Howell events face coverings will be required. These guidelines will be in place at all Howell events and will be similar to what other school districts will be requiring when we travel to their venue. The Activities Department and our coaches will work hard to communicate any special guidelines that may be in place when we travel to other schools. Below you can find the guidelines in place by venue.
Guidelines By Venue
Stadium - Facemask required, bleachers marked for social distancing.
Main Gym - Facemask required, no seating for fans behind scorer's table (team seating only), seating on both levels with social distancing.
Tennis Courts - Facemask required, fans encouraged to bring own chairs and social distance.
Softball Fields - Facemask required, bleachers marked for social distancing, fans encouraged to bring own chairs and social distance.
Rec Plex - TBD by St. Peter's Rec Plex

Football Game This Friday At Hickman Closed To The Public
This coming Friday, the football program will travel to Hickman in their first game of the season. The game will not be open to the public. Specific information regarding attending the game will be communicated with the parents of the football program. A limited number of tickets will be available for parents of the players. For Viking fans wanting to see the first game of the season we hope to be able to stream the game live and will have an update on that possibility later this week.
Thank you to all of our students, parents and fans as we navigate this new reality and work to offer the best experience possible for those involved in our programs.
