We are preaching to your sons that the little things matter. The teams, schools, companies, businesses and families that take care of the little things have a greater measure of success. We want our football program and players to focus on the little things, and to do them the right way every time.
In reviewing the film from last weeks game against Martin, I began to notice that when we took care of the little things we had success, but when just one of the players on the field forgot to do so, then we struggled. This cannot happen in our football program for us to reach the goals that we have placed before us.
On the other hand, last week we had 100% of our varsity team turn in their grade check sheets. We have the players of all levels give their teachers a grade sheet so we can monitor their grades every week. When 100% of the varsity team takes care of this, then we have proof that they are learning about the priority of doing the little things right.
Grade check sheets will most likely not help us win a game, but the principal of doing what you are asked to do and doing it correctly could help us win. This is the point that I want your sons to learn. This understanding of doing the little things right is what will help them be a great college student, faithful husband and caring dads. Doing the little things right is not always easy but it is what we should be doing, and if it does not help us win a game now, I want it to help your sons when the stakes are higher than a high school game.

Week 3
For those of you that came and support us in the rain, both Friday night and Saturday afternoon we are thankful for your faithful support of the Indians. The weekend did not produce the results that we planned, practiced and worked for and we are not satisfied with the results.
We did however find many positives in the game from Saturday and we are building on those for this next week and for the rest of this season. We taught from film this morning, and although there were many mistakes to correct we make every effort to build up your sons as we correct their mistakes. The positive from this adversity is that we will learn and grow from our mistakes and be a better team in this week of practice.
We are excited about our upcoming game with Haltom, and we are preparing to bring home a victory this Friday. Pictures from this past weekends games will be posted later today and I encourage you to visit the Keller Pix website and enjoy all the great photos from all of our games.
Have a great day and stay dry.
