The opportunity to play at in level after high school is a blessing. Don't sleep on it because it's NOT D1.
JUCO = Blessing
NAIA = Blessing
D2 = Blessing
D3 = Blessing
Our season ended Friday.
On a 3 point loss to the #2 team in the state at their place.
We had taken the lead on a 99-yard TD pass with 3 min to go.
And then they converted a 3rd and 12, 3rd and 10 and a 4th and 7 to score and take the win.
Our kids played their guts out and played about as good as we could have played. We were not perfect, but they played to the point of exhaustion.
But...it was not enough.
So, what do you say in these moments?
My son refused to take off his helmet.
And all of them look to you to try to make that moment not hurt like it does.
There is little pain like knowing it is the last time to put the pads on with your team on a Friday night.
But there was nothing I could say, but cry with them.
33-5 for this group and one of my favorite groups I've ever coached.
What I say now is "Thank You".
Thank you to those kids for the chance to be with them.
Thank you to our coaches for their work ethic.
Thank you to our country for letting me call this a "job".
Thank you to God for giving me the chance to work with some of the best kids in the world.
Thank you to my wife for allowing me to pursue my passion.
Thank you to my son for his willingness to work and lead when I know how hard I have been on him to be great.
Thank you to our school for the support of our kids.
