The Offical website of Glencoe Football

Glencoe Football is a very 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 5^th 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.
