Coach Todd Rowley!!!


I could go on forever with the kids as that is the real reason I coach football. I love the kids and I love all their different personalities. Despite hot and cold weather, frustrating losses, parents that don't always agree with everything we do as coaches, the kids are what make it something I enjoy. It is great to see these guys get better at the game of football, but more than that, it is just great to see them become better and stronger people for life outside of football.

Coach Scott Bequette!!!

These boys have been great to work with. It has been a hard year for all of us.We as coaches are doing the best we can do.We as coaches know there are things we can do better as well as the boys. Sometimes we see so much talent, great attitude and ability from these boys, we forget they are young men in their journey through life, going through trials, school, and many other things as well. I never want a boy to regret being on a team and hope these boys know how much we care about them and want them to succeed in every aspect of life. I feel many of the things we work on in football will help them in life trials, which we know are not always easy.We appreciate all the time and effort from the parents and boys. I hope to see all of you next year. Keep working on your athletic abilities all year long, which will help you in every aspect of life. Thanks for your support.

From Head Coach Dan Thompson!!!


I think that these boys are some of the nicest kids I have ever coached. They are respectful and very well behaved and have big hearts, that can be a huge plus and minus on the football field because it takes fire, passion and meanness at times to be successful. We started the season with a lot of new faces (first year players) and kids going from a backup role to a starting position, which is a huge challenge. Some of the kids have struggled with the intensity and consistency required at this level of competition. I feel all the boys have the ability to compete and be very successful. With all that being said, I think the world of these boys and I hope that through the ups and downs of the season (similar to life) these young men have learned to deal with situations and push through for overall life success. I feel that each of these young men have great qualities and gifts and should continue to work hard for their dreams both on and off the football field. I hope to see them all out at tryouts next year with a renewed excitement to play this game!!!!!!
I would also like to thank all the parents for their help and support this season, with special mention to all those that assisted with practice and our special events.

Thanks
Coach Dan (go team, go!!!)

KADIN NOKES!!!

Coach Todd Rowley: Just a pure athlete. New to football, but picked up the line position very quickly and understands his role as a lineman. He works hard and has some natural gifts to be athletic. Very respectful to coaches and a pleasure to coach. Always does what he is asked to do and does it well.
Coach Scott Bequette: Has good speed and raw talent. He's a good listener and works hard to do his job. I'm excited to have him next year.





LEGRAND TOIA!!!

Coach Todd Rowley: Hardest hitting kid I have seen. Loves the game and understands the whole field. When you have been hit by Legrand, you won't forget it. Also has that extra understanding of football that helps him understand the whole field. Football smarts.
Coach Scott Bequette: Is a quick thinker which makes him a weapon on the field, because of his speed and the power in which he hits. I'm glad I'm not the one being tackled or blocked by him. I hope that you'll be with us next year to put the pain on the other teams.
