Amador County – About 42 former local football players will take to the Calaveras High football turf next weekend for an Alumni “Big Game” featuring former players from Amador and Argonaut high schools. With the help of the company California Alumni Football, two teams will face each other, with alumni from Amador, Argonaut and Independence high schools, and they are set to play at 8 p.m. Saturday, September 25th at the Calaveras High School football stadium. Alumni squads from Calaveras and Bret Harte high schools will also compete in an alumni “top rivals” game, in which the company helps to arrange contests between alumni from old, staunch high schools rivalries. Calaveras and Bret Harte will play at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, September 25th, before the Amador-Argonaut game. The Alumni Football USA website also listed a Bret Harte-Linden alumni game is set for some time in October, with the date yet to be set. As of Monday, Argonaut had 18 players signed up, with players from the class of 2010 to as far back as 1998. One Independence High player was also signed up, along with 24 alumni from Amador High School, from 2010 classes, to as far back as 1994. The Thundering Herd squad includes four players from the class of 1997. Alumni Football USA supplies the infrastructure for the full contact alumni football game, including pads and helmets, referees, announcers and other personnel, to help the game run smoothly. Teams are limited to 45 players, and the game will have 12-minute quarters, unless there are more than 40 players signed up on both teams, in which case they would play 15-minute quarters. Alumni Football USA is made up of football coaches and past players who “still love the game” and “have found that many young adults miss this game and want the opportunity to play at least one more time.” Founder and president Bob Cazet lives in Santa Rosa. Tracy Cavender, Teams Coordinator said “every game is different, but almost all games are serious, competitive, and hard hitting.” The game is played “at your own risk, and the company recommends getting checked out by a doctor before playing, and also not playing without health insurance. The company provides required liability insurance for schools and their facility, but does not provide health insurance. Players can sign up online, and look at a posting of the list of players who have already signed up for the Amador-Argonaut game.
