"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the grey twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat" Theodore Roosevelt
What a run!!! Another fantastic season of Monsoon football has come to an end. While the end result was not what we had hoped for, a trip to the "final four" for the second year in a row and an overall record of 9 wins to just 2 losses is still an awesome season, something all the boys, coaches, and parents should be very proud of!!!
Looking back over the season there are many more highs than lows, the growth in ability, skills and fortitude throughout the season have been impressive, our young men are growing up, the bonds of friendship and team work are helping to shape the men they will become. It is extremely difficult to see the boys like they were after the game Saturday, but like coach Thompson said that just shows they care. This is an extraordinary group of young men that I know will go far in whatever they decide to do with their lives. I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every player for all their hard work and dedication, throughout the season, and to congratulate them on a heck of a good season!! And a special thanks to our coaches, who put in countless hours to help our sons become better players and give them all a little piece of themselves. I know I will never forget their tireless efforts, and I'm sure the team won't either.
Now for some fun... I think it would be fun to have every parent reflect on the season in a personal way, try to pick your favorite moment, play or whatever about your kid this season. Mine is easy, this is Cody's 5th year in football, but the first time he has scored a TD. And it came in the first game!! I'm pretty sure I was more excited about it than he was!!! OK parents your turn...
