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 !!!!!
