80 Plus

I know a little about having a lot of kids but today was a whole different story. Over eighty K-5th grade students descended onto to the football field to play with some really big toys, maybe learn some basic skills and hopefully gain a new role model or two. There are always a lot of thank you's from the elementary parents but I love it more for what it does for the HS players.

I love to hear them explain the basics of the drills and learn the names of the little kids. I heard more than one elementary student refer to the HS players as "professionals." I love the opportunity to challenge the HS players to live up to the exceptions and the role models that they are and should be in the eyes of the elementary students. Some of those little kids will be the stars when the current players are coming back for homecoming. I hope that we will continue to build a legacy as a football program and as a school that is continually impacting the next generation.
