Good afternoon all, many of you may not know me as I am relatively new to the 6-man world (and I do my best to stay off the message boards throughout the year!). My name is Matt Arrufat from Boerne Geneva, and my staff and I humbly accepted Coach Burkhart's invitation to coach the Private school team this summer.
I recently completed my second season as head coach of Boerne Geneva, my third year in the coaching profession. Our program has seen great success recently, for several reasons other than my coaching. Our school graduated its first class in 2011, and has fielded a Varsity squad for 5 years now. The average number of boys in our high school at the last realignment was 71, 23 of which came out for the team last year. We are a school located in a popular/growing city, and the majority of the boys are from strong Christian families. The educational requirements at the school have left me with very intelligent/coachable players. The administration has been on board with our program, and understands the value of athletics in our kids lives. Finally, my AD, Scott Stolle, has surrounded me with a young, hungry and capable staff. My team has enjoyed back to back undefeated regular seasons before getting thumped at State by Coach Helton's Covenant boys the last two years. We lose 3 offensive starters and 2 defensive starters to graduation this year... but welcome one of the most talented freshman class we've ever had this coming year. I can’t tell you how honored I am not only to coach my Geneva boys, but to coach the best private school boys in TX at this all-star game. It sounds hokie, but know that I will coach my butt off, and do my best to represent for all the great private school coaches out there. I read above that Coach Keith feels like the luckiest guy in the world... well make it two guys in that boat.
As mentioned above, my staff and I will be responsible for assembling a team with 16 boys that we feel give us the best chance to beat the Public boys. We will start off our search by reaching out to many of the boys that were voted onto the All-State team. If you coached a private school player that you feel is one of the 16 best in the state, please reach out to me. Geneva is on Hudl, so please send film if possible. As a reminder, the cost if selected is $250, and the player would need to be free for practice the week prior to the game. You can reach me by email at:

Thanks again, I’m looking forward to a great game.
