A trick play from Riverton surprised us in the end to win it. I feel really bad that during the time out I didn't warn our line backers and Db"s to stay home and watch for something tricky. As a coach I should have seen it coming. I've had a pretty good read on most of the teams we've played but Saturday I got out coached and that hurts.
The Boys were on fire this week. They came out this week with heart and toughness and played like champs. I know that each one cared and didn't want it to end this way. I was taken back when some kids came up to me and apologized for the loss. They said things "like it was my fault".." I didn't block my guy"... "I should have made the tackle"... The thing is, it's not their fault. Its not any individuals fault. When we won it was a team win and so it is when we lose, a team loss. I will remember this season not for the scores of the games but for the relationships and friendships made and the challenges we overcame together. I'm so proud of their development they are fine young men.
It's not over yet though. We still have the Border Warz Tournament. So Good luck boys.

Don't be hard on yourself coach . . .
Did you finish your home improvement job?
I love the picture of Mary raising her arms as Ryan? is coming in for a TD.
Not really a TD but we did score a few plays later.
