Sollenberger Football Questionnaire
ATTENTION: Football Coaches Just a reminder to inform the football coaches to fill out their Sollenberger football questionnaire if they haven't done so already. We have had about 150 coaches answer it so far. Every coach that answers the questionnaire will have something posted about their team in the preseason Sollenberger football online magazine. The Sollenberger magazine, which is named after the AIA's late historian Barry Sollenberger, has been around for 25-plus years. Please contact Jose Garcia ([email protected]) for the questionnaire if you need it.
Barrow Concussion Network Training Program
The Barrow Concussion Network Training Program is designed to provide participants with fundamental knowledge of sports concussion education, research, and concussion consultation. This program is presented in collaboration with AT Still University and Barrow Neurological Institute. Please view the flyer for more information:

500 Stadium Lights to Florence High School
The Arizona Cardinals and Arizona Interscholastic Association Donate 500 Stadium Lights to Florence
High School
On April 21, Florence High School received a delivery of 500 stadium lights from the Arizona Cardinals and Arizona Interscholastic Association (AIA). These lights were donated to FHS after the Cardinals and the AIA heard the story of Bill and Stephen McKane. For the entire article please click the following link.. SanTanValley.com ---- Dear Ms. Staples, I wanted to reach out to you and thank you for AIA's generous donation to Florence High School on behalf of my late husband, Stephen McKane. He truly loved his football team and would be so pleased to know that the AIA and the Arizona Cardinals are reaching out to the Florence Gophers to provide such a wonderful gift. Though it has been just 19 months since he passed away, his legacy continues to grow in strength as organizations like yours recognize his passion and his love for the game & student-athletes. This gift means a lot to his own sons as well as it will help to light a sports complex that will bear their dad's name. While we cannot bring Steve back- it is nice to know that he is remembered in such a wonderful way. Thank you for the time it took to arrange this gift and
for the thought that went into it. All the best- Kami F. McKane 7th Grade English Language Arts Magma Ranch K-8
