2nd Round of the Playoffs

The bags are packed. The gear is stowed. And now all you can do is wait. I'm sure every team reviews the week and wonders if there was more they could have done to prepare. After all the scheming; after all the running; all that's left is to take the field and play.

I believe our kids have learned the secret to success in football at the high school level. Grit and attitude. These past few weeks have been a coach's dream. The kids have a goal and they are working toward it. They practice hard and with attitude. On Thursdays they are bored because they want to hit the other team. That's what we are looking for.

I don't want to try to predict the outcome of our game. I will predict one thing however. We will be ready to play when the kickoff happens and we will give them a war.
