Healthy???

The sick bug is flying around. We are almost 100% healthy and we need to stay that way. Coach Berry has been out sick for 2 days and I tell you this so you will be watching your sons closely and making sure they are healthy. Coach Berry tried to come in to practice today and I made him go home so he would not spread whatever he has.

Let me encourage you to get some Vitamin C in your sons and remind them to get plenty of rest. Remind them to wash their hands often and not share drinks with each other. These are little things but they can help and possibly prevent any more sickness in our field house. I have told your sons this very statement many times: "there is not one of us that is going to win the game for our team, but there might be one of us that could cause us to loose." I have said this primarily in reference to the guys doing their job on the field, but I want to make sure that sickness does not cause one of us to miss practice or a game. Please take care of your sons and help them stay healthy.

On the other hand I am very grateful for the Defensive staff who has not missed a beat with Coach Berry being gone. Practice has been smooth and we are getting ready for Friday night. I expect a great crowd and I look forward to seeing the stands full. Have a great week.

Go BLUE!!!!!!!
