Oklahoma Patriots vs. Oklahoma Christian School
Kickoff 7:00pm
DIRECTIONS TO OCS:
Oklahoma Christian School’s address is 4680 E. 2nd, located at the Intersection of I-35 and 2nd street. You will see a large white cross at the edge of their campus. Take I-35 to the 2nd Street Exit. Go East on 2nd Street. Take the first entrance on the right. The football field is south and east of all the buildings so it looks like the parking closer to the field will be behind the buildings (not in the main parking area in front.)
Here is a map of the campus and field so you can decide where you want to park:

Fri., Oct 7: Varsity/JV & Middle School Games
The Patriots are in two places tonight….
MID-HIGH:
Remember that our Friday, October 7, Mid-High game time was changed!! Originally scheduled for 5:30, the Mid-High game time was CHANGED to 5:00.
The MH game will be played against Windsor Hills, @ Life Christian Academy in MWC. (6801 South Anderson Road Oklahoma City, OK 73150 — DIRECTIONS: From the downtown OKC area, head east on I-40 about 12 miles. Take exit 162 for Anderson Rd. Turn right (south) on Anderson Rd and go about 1 miles. Will be on right.)
JV/VARSITY:
The JV/Varsity game will be at 7:30 at Gracemont, OK.
(Gracemont High School football field: If you search for directions, use “Gracemont Rd and US – 281 S in Gracemont, OK.” Gracemont is about 70 miles from OKC or 1 hr & 10 min.)
DIRECTIONS: From I-40 and I-44 in OKC:
- Head west on I-40 for 20 miles.
- Take the US-81 N/I-40 BUS exit toward El Reno, keeping LEFT at the FORK in the exit and following signs for US-81 S/Chickasha (500 feet.) At end of the exit ramp, turn LEFT (SOUTH) onto I-40 BUS E/US-81 S and continue to follow US-81 S for 12 miles.
- Turn RIGHT (WEST) onto OK-152 W/OK-37 W and continue to follow OK-152 W for 19.6 miles.
- Turn LEFT (SOUTH) onto OK-8 S/US-281 S and continue for 7.3 miles.
- Turn RIGHT (WEST) on Gracemont Street. Field will be on the left. (I think these directions are correct. They will at least get you to Gracemont, OK, and it is a tiny town. If all else fails, US-281 turns into 2nd Street and just south of Gracemont St., there are a restaurant and post office where you can stop to ask for directions to the field.)

2011 Patriot Players Take Field With Latest Helmet Technology
New for the 2011 season all Patriot players, both High School and Middle School, will be wearing the latest in football helmet technology. The Xenith football helmet is a revolutionary helmet design that is completely different from any other helmet on the market. Check out the Xenith web site to learn about the unique benefits of this helmet over the traditional Schutt or Riddell designs – http://www.xenith.com/football/innovation/
We tested a dozen of these helmets last season and were very pleased with the result so the decision was made to outfit the entire program with Xenith’s. We have been able to make these and other equipment upgrades while continuing to keep the player fees very reasonable – Patriot player fees are lower than any other similar program in the region.
Below is a brief explanation of the Xenith technology:
Xenith® was founded with the goal of reducing the risk of concussive episodes by providing both innovation and education. We’ve created an innovative product, and we’re committed to delivering the education needed to complement that product. When you choose Xenith, you’ll see things differently. You’ll become enlightened.
Xenith Adaptive Head Protection® is a system of integrated technologies designed to reduce the sudden movement of the head by adapting to different energy levels. It provides optimal performance when players need it most.
Traditional padding materials are designed primarily for high-energy impacts: they are too dense and stiff for low to medium impacts, and can’t adapt to impact energy. This causes the head to move suddenly during impact, increasing the risk of a concussive episode.

Change of Practice Time Because Of Heat!
I sent an email out yesterday to just the players and parents we currently have signed up for the 2011 season.
The email you are receiving now has been sent to the broader audience of folks who want to keep up with the Patriots (including players and parents), and also to the non players and parents. We need to know if you SHOULD HAVE received yesterdays email but did not. We need to make sure that those who need to be on the list about changes in practice schedule and such do indeed receive the emails.
If you need to be added to the list that gets informed of practice schedule changes and such, please respond and note that you need any information about changes in team schedule etc. You only need to send an email with that request if you DID NOT receive yesterdays email.
Below is the email that went out yesterday.
At least for tomorrow night, let’s plan to start and end practice an hour later than we had originally planned. This will let the average temperature during practice drop a couple of degrees.
Sorry for this change, but these high temperatures are difficult to deal with. Parents be assured, we will be extremely careful as we know many of the players have not prepared themselves for the heat. They will adapt quickly, but for tomorrow night, Monday, August 1st we will practice 6:30 to 9:00.
School has not started, so I feel a bit more comfortable about this late time slot for this week. Some families are starting school next week, so I am doubtful that we will start and end this late next week.
I am hopeful that there will be a break in the weather by next week. We can’t afford to skip a week of practice so we must practice this week.
Please respond to this email IF this places your family in a hardship. As we try to determine what we do for the rest of the week, the feedback will be helpful. If this schedule change creates a challenge for too many of the families, then we need to consider that information.
Once again I am sorry, but it is for the safety of the players and coaches. And if you did not get the word yesterday, then START DRINKING WATER NOW! And each coach and player should bring their own jug of water or better yet something with electrolytes in it (Gatorade or Powerade or something). The team will provide water and plenty of breaks, but if everyone brings their own it will help the guys be able to get a drink ANYTIME they feel it is needed.
Tiffany Davis has done a great job of cleaning up the email lists, but lets don’t count on just that form of communication. Please communicate the change to others on the team so that everyone gets the word. If you know of someone who should have received this email, but did not, then let us know immediately.
Thanks,
Coach Sikes
