It’s been a couple days and Friday night is still sitting a little heavy on my heart. I want to express the ample amount of gratitude I have for LJ football and how blessed I am to be a broncho these last 4 seasons. From the bottom of my heart thank you LJ.❤️🖤#3out @LJBronchoFB

[Ben @ben_pickering_]

[Pat Shanley @CoachShanley]

Thank you, Seniors. For all that you gave to this program and to the Jeff community. You are the first class in school history to win three sectional titles. 21 wins over the last two seasons, 2 NCC Titles. Together, you held onto the rope. Together, you fought for each other and your community. Together, you left it all out on the field. It is my promise to all of you that we will work our tails off to earn the right to be back on that stage and continue to work relentlessly to deliver the title that the Jeff community deserves.

Thank you, Broncho Nation. The crowds for this playoff run were as rowdy and loud as anything I've been a part of. Last night's energy and noise was truly insane. The loudest crowd we have had in my 10 years at Jeff. I make the same promise to you. This staff and our program will continue to work very hard to serve this community in a way that you can all be proud of.
