Fourth Straight Loss – Light @ End of the Tunnel

Many positives in our 27 – 23 loss to a very talented Central Catholic football team – 23 first downs, 59 rushing plays, 79 offensive plays in all, four freshmen and seven sophomores playing with no fear, Senior leadership everywhere, overcoming some very difficult calls – TD called back – three of our best players not playing at the close of the game, but we did not QUIT!!

After 41 years of coaching, you would think I would be mature and reasonable after a close loss… no, still seething like a hungry Tiger, anxious to kick something – I didn’t – anxious to say bad verbs – I didn’t – it never leaves you, losing sucks!

Homecoming is this week.  Always a coach’s nightmare!  Will the players focus on football or concentrate on limousines, tux’s, parties, pretty girls, bonfire, parade, powder puff game, etc?  It’s a great time of their lives for our young people.  I am sure that all will figure everything out for the week – play hard and have a ball at Homecoming.

Monday night will be our last time for Football 101 which is for ladies only…except this time men can come too.  We will have raised close to $2,000 from the five Monday classes with all proceeds going to academics.
