I tell our kids that football is like 8 semesters of school.Each year that goes by 2 semesters are gone.When your senior year is up its over,unless your 1 of the lucky ones who go on to college.After our last home game the seniors run a final lap together,while all the other players wait at the end of the lap to thank them for what they have done.The younger players take it just has hard because they know their time will soon come.The 1st time i seen it , it blew me away.Alot of tears flow.For the ones who put down sports ,they don't see this kind of bond that is made every year between these players.The hard work ,the 2 a days,the sweat,the good times and the bad.Players come from all walks of life,but football brings them togather like a family.They make friends that they would never make if it wasn't for the game.But i'll end with this,it will be something that will stay with me to the end of my life to know i've been a part of so many of their lifes.Each year brings something new,but it always ends with sad goodbys.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL THIS YEARS SENIORS,MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.
