Lyndon stayed unbeaten with a 52-0 win over Northeast to advance to Round 2 of the 8M-I playoffs. Senior quarterback Lucas Griffin was sharp, completing 7-of-8 passes for 104 yards and 2 touchdowns, one to Josh Vignery and another to Zach Criqui. Griffin also added 100 rushing yards and 2 more touchdowns on just four carries in the win. The undefeated Tigers will now host 8-1 Little River this week in a highly anticipated 8M-I matchup. #sportsinkansas

📍One of Today’s Stops
Lyndon High School (8M - 1) 🏈

The Lyndon Tigers are one of the six remaining undefeated teams in 8M - Division I, averaging 56 points per game and recording multiple shutouts so far this season. With several key returners from their 2023 State Championship team, the Tigers are determined to continue their hunt for another title as they face Yates Center this Friday in their Week 7 matchup. Dominique Schutte of Sports in Kansas was at practice today and caught up with seniors James Marcotte, Lucas Griffin, and Head Coach Michael Massey. #sportsinkansas

The Lyndon Tigers (8M-I, 2-0) are showcasing some serious firepower this fall, and their backfield duo of James Marcotte and Lucas Griffin will be two names to keep an eye on all season. Both had monster outings in last Friday’s big Week 2 win over Frankfort. Senior Griffin was electric, carrying the ball 18 times for 167 yards and 2 rushing touchdowns while also throwing for 101 yards and adding 4 total scores. Marcotte was just as impactful, rushing for 162 yards on 21 carries, finding the end zone 4 times and hauling in 2 receptions, including one for a touchdown. Under head coach Michael Massey, Lyndon continues to prove itself as a team to watch in 8M-I, powered by the dynamic playmaking of this talented duo. #sportsinkansas

One pattern I’ve noticed in all dysfunctional teams:

They want success without the sacrifice.

Dan Lanning said, "You know to accomplish a goal, it has to be valuable what you're willing to give up."

The 4 things they couldn't sacrifice:🧵
1. They couldn't sacrifice ego for trust - When the pressure mounted, players protected individual stats over team success.

Great teams do the opposite - they care more about winning than looking good. They invest in trust and the team. And trust is how teams become unstoppable.

2. They couldn't sacrifice comfort for discipline -While great teams show up early and stay late, these teams took shortcuts when it mattered most.

Every skipped rep, every avoided drill, every comfortable choice - they add up tup over time. Death by one-thousand cuts.

3. They couldn't sacrifice convenience for accountability - When effort slipped, no one spoke up. Standards became suggestions not standards to live by.

Great teams demand accountability because they know: Excellence doesn't maintain itself.

4. They couldn't sacrifice the short-term fixes for long-term greatness - When the grind got hard, they chose the easy path. When pressure built, they wanted quick fixes.

Championship teams embrace the long game when others take shortcuts. They know growth and success is a journey.

The pattern is clear:
Many teams often have the talent to win. But only teams willing to sacrifice have the character to finish.
Ego → Trust
Comfort → Discipline
Convenience → Accountability
Short-term → Long-term

Coach K was 38-47 his first 3 years at Duke & 13-29 in the ACC

Jay Wright was 52-46 his first 3 years at Villanova & 21-27 in the Big East

Great things take time. You need to be process driven, not results driven

A proper foundation is much more important than instant success
