Hard to believe this is week 10. There are many seniors out there that know this will be their last football game and many with another week but the commonality, this is it, the last regular season game and an end of a journey. Enjoy it, play hard and if you haven't already, take in the atmosphere. There is nothing else like it. You have sacrificed in the off seasons, two/three a days, struggled with pain and injuries, ups and downs, wins and losses and it boils down to this. I want to thank you young men for stepping up and doing what you do and providing us old guys the privilege to watch you under the lights.
To the juniors, you have one more year but dont let these seniors down. They know what is passing and you dont quit have the understanding yet and this is a special night for them...you will see soon enough. Your time is quickly approaching and I am sure if you talk to the seniors about tonight they will tell you it goes by too fast. Enjoy it and give your buddies a memorable send off.
To the Sophs and Frosh, you are the future of your program. Be loyal to it, work for it, sweat for it and dont let your past or present team mates down, they will be watching. Your day is coming. Work hard to be the best you can be.
To the coaches, WOW, you men are incredible to dedicate so much time to these young men. Your sacrifices are often overlooked by many but never by those you lead. No matter if you are 0-10 or 10-0, your dedication and time is not found in any other HS sport. You guys are making our future. So, congratulations on another successful year and thank you.
To the teams that make the post season, you have the support of the conference fans and we wish you well. Represent what some call a weak conference with pride, grit, hard hitting football and make believers out of doubters.
Great season and see y'all next year.
Now, I'll get snow from the flakes....
