Keep Your Heads Up!

FIRST OF ALL: IT'S GOING TO BE OK!

As I mentioned after the game, this loss was my fault. That's right: Coach Delvan's fault. I did not adequately prepare and change our defensive scheme to meet the plays that they ran on us. And, I didn't have the right offensive ideas to go with Coach Benji's hard efforts to find something that worked.

But, this is the best thing that could happen to you. Really! Now we know how much it hurts to have someone score on us; to beat us; and to celebrate when we are feeling like we're not very good. NOW, when we practice, we will know why we've been practicing so hard; preparing ourselves; EARNING our victories.

Being undefeated does not mean that we don't have to be ready to play. We are still the favorite to be in the Championship game. Don't forget that. If you win the last 2 games of the season, you will forever be remembered as CHAMPION. If that means anything to you, then start preparing for those games and I promise that you won't care at all about what happened tonight.

I'm proud of each and every one of you. And so is Coach Benji. We played without Dylan and Steven. We put people in positions they had never played. We had people playing EVERY play of the game and still trying. We had injuries. But we didn't quit.

Don't quit now!
