Friday night lights — what every kid looks forward to when it comes to high school football. All the blood, sweat and tears each player puts in don’t go unnoticed as they work their way to victory.
Concord is lucky to have five high schools with great football programs to stand behind and support.
The De La Salle Spartans are one of the top programs in the nation and have been nationally recognized for more than two decades.
They have won countless championships and games, and set a national-record 151-game winning streak that ended in 2004. They begin the 2018 season with a 291-game winning streak against Northern California opponents.
The Spartans continue to make Concord their proud home with their hard work and dedication to the game.
The Clayton Valley Charter Ugly Eagles have re-established their dominance and received first place in their league last year. Their presence in the football world continues to raise Concord’s profile when it comes to high school football.
Their field is unique in that their turf is black, helping them stand out from their competition.
The Minuteman of Concord High School have a mission to prepare student-athletes to become leaders and champions in life. They continue to motivate and challenge their players both on and off the field.
Ygnacio Valley High School are the Warriors of Concord. They won a league co-championship back in 2009 and continue to rebuild their program each year. They had five all-league selections last year, including three first-team honors.
The Mt. Diablo High School mission is to instill determination in all of their students to persevere in reaching their goals and their football program does just that.
They continue to grow each year to ensure their team strives for excellence. Also, they have a great opportunity to show the community how they will represent Concord in the future.
With these five schools giving their all on the field, the community of Concord is expanding its sports culture. There is nothing better than the view from the top and Visit Concord is proud to support those that help make our city a true winner.
Concord has the perfect field space to plan your next tournament! Catch one of these local teams at a game this season and show your support.
