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 !!!!!
