Four years ago, Mountain Valley football made the decision to move into the newly sanctioned 8-man football league. Participation numbers had dipped into the low 20s and it became very difficult to safely play at both the varsity and JV levels. It was not an easy decision to make in a community with such a rich football history, but it was a necessary one. This past season, thanks in large part to a big group of freshmen, our roster climbed back up to the mid 30s. It is with much excitement, that we can now announce that Mountain Valley football has put in a request to the MPA to move back into the 11-man ranks. 8-man football has been a great development in the state of Maine, it has saved many programs. Programs across the state have joined the 8-man divisions for many different reasons, but for Mountain Valley, it has always been about reviving our program in hopes of returning to what we know and love. This decision does not come lightly, we do not want to put ourselves in a position in which we bounce between the two different levels. In discussions at the HS, MS, and AYF levels, we are confident that our improved participation numbers are sustainable for the foreseeable future. There are still a lot of details to be sorted out, as other schools make similar decisions to move from one level to another but this is an exciting move for our team, school, and community. This is yet another reason to get out on Friday nights next fall and pack the Hosmer Field Complex to support the Falcons! #FalconsFly https://www.sunjournal.com/2020/01/10/mountain-valley-exploring-eight-man-football/?fbclid=IwAR1jg0gGkX2DXx1k6VbwZrTG-gaA89i1sSI-HtFWwjL8mKGKM9I3cBlq3eE_aem_Af5FXuD2M3iM0B-Zgi5tbwNp29uUixvs19xpOetx_V27SRxLTAvB3qJbcUZGf06jGE4

MVHS: We want to let you all know that we just completed an ALICE Drill. The drill started at 9:02 and all students were back in the building by 9:13. These types of drills are difficult on students and staff but being proactive and prepared is something we take very seriously at MVHS. As always our students showed a high level of maturity during the drill. We have extra support for students if needed. If you have any questions, please call school at 364-4547. -Mr. Danylik & Mr. Milledge
