a real football player

[jcm]

Saw this post in another thread and I thought everyone needed to read it.

 

"If you want to see a real football player, watch a team that hasn't won a game, and see who's still out there playing hard, regardless of the score. Look at the defensive back running all the way across the field at full speed, just in case one of his teammates miss a tackle. Look for the player not wanting to come out of the game, even when their team is down by 35 points in the 4th quarter. Look for the wide reciever sprinting off the line play after play, even on the running plays. Look for the lineman firing off the line as hard as he can to hit the guy across from him who is a 6' 4" division 1 prospect, never backing down. Look at the senior who's playing on a sprained ankle, giving it everything he has, in hopes of one more win before he graduates. Look for the sophomore who's jumping in on scout team every chance he gets in practice, and yelling from the sideline for his team all night. Look for the center and the quarterback who stay 15 minutes after practice voluntarily, to practice snaps, because they had a couple of fumbles the week before. Look for the guy who never quits, even when you're not getting wins, and its not fun to go to practice anymore. I've never met anybody who said he regreted the decision to NOT quit. Hang in there, and you'll be glad you did. Keep working hard, one practice at a time, one drill at a time, one down at a time, one game at a time, and the wins will come. Good luck blue devils!" - WC49

Good quote. The more you put into to something, the more you will get out of it.

Lets use this thread to give a shout out to some of the "real football players" you've seen on friday night. We're not talkin' about the players with the best stats, but the ones you see each friday out there playing their hardest. Lets give those guys some of the recognition they deserve. So this last friday, who were some of the hardest playing guys you saw on the field?

I'd say this encompasses all the players from Kenwood, who have been there for the past 3 years (not just this year). There are about 15-20 of them. All of them are real players. 0-10, 1-9, 1-9, not one of them quit. Those are some real players. This year is just the culmination of their determination.

Station Camp has senior night tomorrow night and I want to say:

 

Congrats to:

#3 Will Anderson,

#82 Josh Barnes,

#76 Robert Bridges

#56 Jeff Ferebree

 

They are the first graduating class that has completed all 4 years at Station Camp!

 

They have given their all, from having no home field to play on their freshman year, a new field their sophomore year, making it to the playoffs their junior year, to a senior year that has shown that no matter what they have the "BISON PRIDE"! You guys have played better than your record shows. Keep your heads up, you have spent the last 4 years being apart of something that no one else from Station Camp can claim and it can never be taken away from you.

 

You all started the foundation that SC players will be build on for years to come!

 

Best wishes in all you do!
