On February 18th, coaches held the first football meeting in preparation for the 2009 season. Over 70 players grades 9-11 showed up for the meeting nearly doubling the interest from last year. This is a big step for our program and will ensure that we can have three competitive levels of high school football this fall. Player attending the meeting were told that it is not whether or not we can win a championship that we should be deciding, it is whether or not we are willing to do the work to be champions.
The effort that this group puts in over the next few months will go along way toward telling us if we are capable of reaching our potential this fall. There is excitement in the air and we are itching to get started. Just 189 days until Dowagiac.
