Great Game!!!

It was a great night for high school football. The weather, the stands, the kids going wild on the field, and the boys playing with heart and passion. I was very proud of the entire effort that was given and proud of the victory that our team achieved.

It was not a perfect game, but it seemed that when ever the offense had a struggle or gave the ball up the defense was ready to step in and hold the line. And the offense came through with some big plays and some long drives that created scoring opportunities for the team. It was a great team effort in all phases. And I would be making a huge mistake to not mention our sophomore kicker Seth Wicks and his ability to finish the game and seal the deal.

Now we move forward to our next task. I know it seems that we don't celebrate the victories enough, but as a team and as a staff we have to move on to the next goal and build on what happened on Thursday night. Colleyville is a strong team and we will have to be physically and mentally ready to defeat them. We will be playing at home again and would like to encourage everyone to come out to the game and bring a friend. We will be working diligently to bring another victory to our school and community and we take all the support we can get.

Have a great weekend and pictures will be here soon so keep checking in with the blog. Also, send this web site around to your local friends and make sure everyone is aware of the our team blog.

Go BLUE !!!!!!!!

Getting Closer to Our Goals.

We have moved one step closer to our goal of playing in December. The victory on Friday night against Northwest was not exactly as we had planned, but a Win is still a Win and we are pleased and ready to move forward. Several weeks ago I mentioned to our team and to the coaches that we are basically the only team to really challenge Trinity. We play them very well. I sometimes feel that everyone else feels that same way toward us. Everyone seems to play better against us then they did the previous weeks, and that is something that we accept. Our promise is that we will work harder this week than we did last week and that we will give your sons every opportunity to be successful on the football field, and in life.

This coming week is a short one for our players, coaches and fans. We play L.D. Bell on Thursday night at our stadium and the kick off will take place at 7 p.m. This is a significant game for us and we will be working hard in this short week to be mentally ready for the game. We benefit from the wonderful encouragement of our fans, the great spirit of the Cheerleaders, Indianettes and Spirit Crew, and the Keller High Band creates a special atmosphere for all of use to benefit from. We will need all Indian supporters there for this weeks game. It will be a great on.

Have a wonderful Sunday and first half of the week.

Go BLUE !!!!!!

Tough Loss

I am still looking for the best words to explain the way that our team and coaching staff feels about the loss on Saturday afternoon to Grapevine. We were so very near to having a really solid game, and film on Sunday showed us that the errors that we made were small but very significant. I am still disappointed, but I have pledged to our staff and to the team that we will not let the loss to Grapevine beat us twice. I share with them the monkey story, and I let the team and staff know that we will let go of this game and it will not come back to beat us again. What is in the past will not return to cause us more pain.

So we prepare for our game against Northwest and we look forward to Friday night when the past can be erased with a victory. The boys had a great workout this afternoon and we are aggressively preparing your sons to be a wise and prepared team. We will be adjusting our practice times slightly to avoid the possible rain that is fore casted. Hopefully we will be able to have a normal practice week, but if the rain does come please be aware that our times and locations on practice might be altered.

As always I would like to remind you how fortunate we are to live and work in this community. We are grateful for the great showing of support at the games and we welcome you to visit practice if your work schedule allows it. Your sons are doing everything we ask them to do and we as a staff would not trade their heart or desire for anything. We hope you have a great week and I can't wait until Friday.

Go BLUE !!!!!

Pictures From Central

Here are a few pictures from the Central game. We have had a great week so far and we are getting ready to take on the Mustangs of Grapevine High. Don't forget the homecoming carnival that begins at 12 noon on Saturday with kick off taking place at 4 p.m. See you there.

Go BLUE !!!!!

1 and 1

First of all, here is a link to the news report of our homecoming pep rally that took place Friday morning. The gym was full and the energy was the best it has been in a long time. We had the varsity players escort in our Breast Cancer Survivors and they were honored again at the football game. What a true story of courage that those women have given us. Enjoy the broadcast.

We played well against the Central Chargers. There are always many things to improve and work on from a Friday night game, but when you win those corrections are much easier to make. I was very proud of the way our boys played and I am very happy to be one step closer to our first goal of being Keller Champs. That is something we will be working on and dreaming about in the coming weeks.

I know that sitting on the visitor side is weird for all of you, just as it is for out coaches and players. We are not used to being at that field and looking at the visitor score, but when we win I'll accept it, for now. I hope you noticed the home side stands and the abundance of empty seats that were there. We are very fortunate here at Keller High to have such a wonder parent and school based support system, but we also carry to community name and with that comes a large fan base that is not currently connected to our school. The other schools do not have such a luxury and I want to express to all of Keller that we ware grateful for the fan base that comes out to support the Indians.

This upcoming week is Homecoming for Keller High and there will be plenty of alumni around to see The Keller High School. Please check the Keller High School web site for all of the details involved in this week. I know you will all want to be at the homecoming parade on Monday afternoon and there will be a homecoming carnival on Saturday before the football game against Grapevine which begins at 4 p.m.

I will post the pictures of this last weeks games against Central and I would encourage you to visit Keller Pix and see what memories might have been captured of your sons and their friends. The staff at Keller Pix do a great job of taking action shots of all of the athletic events of Keller I.S.D and we appreciate their involvement.

Have a great weekend and stay dry.

Go BLUE !!!!!
