Welcome
Glencoe Football is a strong and proud program, serving boys
in the Glencoe High School attendance area in Hillsboro, Oregon. The
program is rich in tradition even though it is only thirty years
old. In 1995, a Tennessee based football equipment company honored
Glencoe as one of the top twenty-five football programs in the
United States.
The entire program, grades three through twelve, serves
approximately 375 boys per year. The main emphasis and strength for
our third through eighth grade teams is in participation. The
Glencoe youth football program differs from many other youth
programs; the emphasis is not on winning, but on all of the players
getting a lot of playing time. This is the only way players can
improve and have fun.
Coach Tim Duvall, the head varsity coach in charge of all grades,
believes it is too difficult to look at grade school players and
evaluate future ability. Therefore, all participants play a great
deal and consequently all players improve and the turnouts remain
high. At the high school level there are three teams: A Frosh team
made up of only freshmen students; A Junior Varsity team made up of
primarily sophomores with a handful of juniors; and The Varsity team
made up primarily of juniors and seniors with possibly a few select
sophomores.
The three high school teams play at the Oregon class 6A level.
There are 43 6A teams throughout the state. Glencoe is a member of
the Pacific Conference. In the past thirty years Glencoe has been to
the state playoffs twenty times, winning undefeated state
championships in 1986 and 1994 and finishing as the runner-up in
2007. Glencoe has graduated many outstanding players to the major
and small college ranks. One former Glencoe standout, Brett Collins,
after being player of the year for the state of Oregon, and a
co-captain for the University of Washington National Championship
team of 1990, then played for the St. Louis Rams and the Green Bay
Packers. More recently 2004 graduate, QB Erik Ainge was a 5th
round NFL draft pick of the New York Jets after an outstanding
college career at the University of Tennessee.
Most Glencoe football players go to the Glencoe football camp the
second or third week of August each year. There are a lot of
expensive football camp experiences available at colleges and
universities. The Glencoe coaching staff has tried to offer a very
affordable camp in the community so boys can improve their skills
while not leaving home or having their families pay hundreds of
dollars. The third
through sixth grade is known as the Pee Wee’s and the seventh and
eighth grade is Youth Football.
