COACH’S COMMENTS
“…We are pleased that our program was so well represented on the 2020 All-District Football Team with 9 first team selections and 7 honorable mention selections. We are blessed with a lot of talented kids and coaches on our team.”
“… We wish that we would have been able to play more games in 2020, but we are thankful for the ones we did get. Opposing district coaches took notice of the talents and work put in by our team. Anytime you are recognized by your peers it is special.”
“… Always tough to say goodbye to graduating seniors, but this year even more so, as we are unable to host a proper banquet and awards dinner due to COVID-19. We will miss this group. We hope to do a proper banquet later in the school year if possible.”
“… Excited about the future! I believe we have a group who is not only talented, but hungry coming back in 2021.”
