Team Motto

Choosing a team motto is a valuable part of the Frankenmuth High School Football Program tradition.  Traditionally the old wooden signs were hand-painted by long-time coach Ric Ruhl.  Past signs are hung in the football locker room to remind the current players what it means to be part of the Eagle Program.  The motto for 2024 is “JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN.”  This sign is currently hung above the exit of the locker room as a constant reminder for the players and coaching staff.
