Man I love my team

[Coach Ben Nicholas @BenNicholas47]

It could just be coincidence, but I think there’s correlation between these thunderstorms and my wife wanting to go to take Bri to Chuck E. Cheese.
Could be nothing. But it could be something 👀

Last week of school for the class of 2026. This last month has been tough, and I don’t wish for it back, but I wish I had one more month with this group to close out on a better note. I’m really going to miss this class of kids, I’m graduating out a lot of family

Miss you Coach. Could really use your advice right now. Though, I think I’d know what you’d tell me.
Hope I’m making you proud. Though, I think I know what you’d tell me about that too

@RodMurrow I say all that to say it feels like the big schools ($$$) get bigger, and the small schools will get smaller

[Coach Ben Nicholas @BenNicholas47]

@RodMurrow I’m from Texas, so it’s coming.
I’m for creating opportunities, but as a small school, there are so many options that we aren’t able to really fill any of them. We’ve got bare minimum numbers in tons of sports, usually because of other sports. Idk the solution…

Don't worry guys. We've got you covered 🤝

My beautiful (and wise) wife went to bed before the 3rd. I said I was coming to bed too. We both knew I was lying…and now I’m paying the price with this OT 😭

BUT WERE HERE SO LETS GET IT DONE

[Coach Ben Nicholas @BenNicholas47]

@afdtwo I really should have known better than to tweet that earlier…and really wishing we got one during that 5v3

[Coach Ben Nicholas @BenNicholas47]

All I’m asking for is the Dallas Stars to score 15 goals in the first period so I can comfortably go to bed knowing we’ve won, because it’s a school night. Is that too much to ask?

[Coach Ben Nicholas @BenNicholas47]

YES! Let’s go! Brand new game, let’s make it happen

[Coach Ben Nicholas @BenNicholas47]

@afdtwo I blame myself…

[Coach Ben Nicholas @BenNicholas47]

@afdtwo IM SORRY! I TAKE IT ALL BACK!
