Homecoming Win!

October 19th, 2009 admin Leave a comment Go to comments

Big week, big homecoming, and “Big” win!  First, our 3rd win of the season, 39 – 6, with 21 first downs and 479 total yards.  It felt and looked good to see an opposing team our size and as young as us.  The difference was Tyler Harrington and Tyler Vincent, two bruising backs with an imposing attitude.  Other players played excellent football, too.  Additionally, our defense was suffocating and ran with a purpose to the ball.  The biggest moment was after the game ended, the opposing coach asked if they could pray with us.  People from the stands, Father Theriot, cheerleaders all joined in for a post-game prayer.  Isn’t the USA a great country!!

Homecoming was AWESOME!  Our little school community is into it:  parade, bonfire, powder puff, a golf scramble (raised $13,000), and a “community” participating in the Homecoming Dance.  At the dance, I witnessed grandparents, parents, small children, alumni, teachers, etc. there in our small gym with beautiful decorations.  Handsome men and beautiful women all sharing their high school Homecoming with the V.C. family.  My highlight was slow dancing with an 8-year old girl.  The music was country western and I could actually hear the words.  I walked out of the gym after “burning up the dance floor” thinking, how lucky am I to experience this past week?  V.C., you are something else!

    VC is a great place. Our boys on the football team are very lucky to have you and our other coaches to guide them. Thanks to you and all of our other coaches for your hard work.

    Congrats on the win Dad!
    Jack asked if you were coaching on tv the other day during Suinday night football. I laughed b/c I remember when I was a little girl I thought you were a better coach than all those NFL coaches. I still think that even though I’m 32 years old! I’ll always be your biggest fan :)

    I agree. VC is a great place and I’m very proud to say it because I was once a part of the halls of VC. Our children are more than lucky to have you as their coach and mentor. I knew what type of person you were after I spoke to you for the first time on the telephone. I still can’t believe how lucky we are to have someone like you join our family. Thank you for all your hard work and the positive attitude you have towards our school and children.
