FALCONS HAVE THREE SIGN
Feb. 4- T. Cino, M. Westover and T. Theirrien all signed letters of intent to Valley City State University, a NAIA school located in Valley City, North Dakota, on Tuesday. All three seniors are expected to enter their freshman season competing for playing time. Individually each had a major contribution to the 2009 playoff season.
Cino played a critical role leading the team in rushing with over 800 yards and accounting for 8 touchdowns. Throughout the season Cino saw time at FB, LB and made a start at QB in the first round playoff game vs. Clay. Cino is expected to play fullback next year for the Vikings .
Thierrien was the Falcons go to player when the ball was put in the air. The all - county, all - district and all - conference WR lead the Falcons in receiving yards with 837 yards. He finished a close second in the county in the same category.
Westover was with out a doubt the leader of the Falcons this year. The all-county cornerback lead all DB's with 34 tackles and 3 forced fumbles. He also finished the season with 4 interceptions including one in the first round playoff game vs. Clay.
The Falcon football family is extremely proud and grateful for each of these young men for their contribution to the developing tradition of Menendez football. We wish them luck as they take a step to next level football.

Built on Character
Welcome to the Menendez Football Family. When a student decides to come out for football at Menendez, he is not just joining a team, he is joining our family. Our football family is built on character.
Participating in football does not build character; it reveals it. One of our primary goals is to help our young men develop a championship character that will enable them to be successful on and off the field. Our goal as a staff is to develop qualities in the young men we coach that will enable them to make a positive impact at school, on the field, at home, and most importantly will send them out into the world after high school prepared to make a positive impact on society.
Menendez Football is built on four cornerstones; Commitment, Discipline, Effort and Toughness.
Commitment: Commitment can be painful. Indeed it is the possibility for pain that commitment finds meaning and power. Of what value could commitment be if it did not have its price?
Discipline: Do what you’re supposed to do, when you’re supposed to do it, exactly like it is supposed to be done, and do it that way all the time.
Effort: It takes no athletic ability to give effort. It’s an attitude. Be relentless and compete for 48 minutes.
Toughness: The ability to consistently perform at your very best talent and skill regardless of competitive circumstances.
Friday nights at Veteran’s Memorial Stadium are more than just a football game. It is a production that involves the entire school and community coming together to display “Falcon Pride”. The football team, the band, the cheerleaders, the dance team, the blue boys and all of the fans join together to show the true spirit of Pedro Menendez High School.
Focus • Fight • Finish
