Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence. Vince Lombardi

Some people try to find things in this game that don't exist but football is only two things - blocking and tackling. Vince Lombardi

It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up. Vince Lombardi

Leaders aren't born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that's the price we'll have to pay to achieve that goal, or any goal. Vince Lombardi

The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall. Vince Lombardi

  1. Those are perfect Troy! I've been trying to think of something to post until I can round up all the pictures from everyone from the boys pizza party to post with our game pictures from Saturday. I know the boys will love having these new quotes to read! If they're anything like Kaedan they're bummed their season is over and are really going to miss seeing each other and the coaches so much. They do still have the banquet to look forward to! :)

  2. K Brandy... take this comment and make it a post will you please? Cause for some reason I have lost the ability to post... or the ability to think, one of the two. LOL

    GREAT season everybody! To my players and coaches, you guys are the absolute BEST there is.. This year was fantastic! I will really miss seeing all of you every night and going into battle with you every week.
    Boys, please do not forget what I talked about on Saturday about what it means to be a teammate.. You guys are all now teammates for life. Stick up for each other at ALL times, at school, at church, on the playground or the field of battle no matter the sport. Nothing brings teammates together like football. You've all bled together, hurt together, celebrated together, worked your tails off in practice together, thru all the blood, sweat and tears you all ultimately had the same goal in mind and that was a team victory every Saturday. You have formed a bond that should never be broken. Be a good teammate to each other. And be good people at all times...

    We had a great season and accomplished an important goal... WE MADE THE PLAYOFFS! We were a top 16 team out of 40+ this year! Great job to all of you!

    And to the parents... thank you SOOOO much for all the support you gave us this year and have given me over the years. In my 14 years of coaching I have truly been blessed with great parental support but you guys beat them all. This blog, the treats, the pictures, teh banners, the signs, the painted faces, the cow bells... you guys are AWESOME!! And the best part of all of it is that you cheer and support the team and razz the officials as loud as any crowd, but you ALWAYS do it with class. I truly appreciate the fact that I have never had to say anything to anyone about the manner in which you cheer. And we all know that is a problem for a LOT of teams... but not us and I am so grateful for that.
    I am humbled to have had been given the opportunity to be such an big part of your kids lives for so many nights, weeks, months and in many cases, YEARS! Thank you very much for that trust and confidence. I hope I never do anything to diminish that.

    GREAT SEASON EVERYONE!!!
    See you at the party!!! :)

    Coach Rob
