WTG Falcons, in winning a Region Game... that is a big step, a step not many people thought you would take this season, including myself, congrats... Good luck in Region 1 AAA next season., beat those The those Viking's and Hilltoppers once in a while and everything will be ok...

Hey WaCo....see you in the Baseball stands... 9 days till a game.

 

Giddy Up!!

I just knew you (ART) and WACO had a decent bone in those "frail" bodies of yours. "14 Straight Conference swimming titles?" ART, you are starting to give away your Id. Remember, DB is also my alma (1987).

Even as just a fan and a manager, its hard not to miss something that you have been around so much and has been such a large part of your life for the past four years. I have been fortunate enough to attend every home game, during those four years, and every game this season, including Disney that was a blast. And I would not trade one second of that for anything in the world.

 

Being there and being a manager has given me the opportunity to get to know the younger guys, and that’s why I know that Volunteer’s team has some great seasons ahead of them. They really are just a great bunch of guys...gentlemen I should say, because they have always shown a lot of class toward me. But most importantly they have heart and a real love for the game.

 

I hate to have such a long post, but anybody who knows me knows most of the time I have a lot to say (probably too much). I’ll try to keep things short as possible, but I have to acknowledge and address some people that are very important to me.

 

Coach Whalen, Mr. Southam, Ron R., Mrs. Whittemore, her parents, and Jackson, Mrs. Frazier and her lovely son STEVE, just to name a few of the falcon faithful, oh plus Bart and Brent - It’s been a pleasure getting to know you all over the years, or overcoming my fears of some (Larry).

 

Coach Reed and Coach Smith - Thank you, you have both helped me in different ways. And thanks for just putting up with me. I really think a lot of both of you (a lot more than what I think of Algebra II).

 

Coach Stokley - I wish I could have gotten to know you better before this year. Thanks for always going out of your way to acknowledge me, it really means a lot.(Even if it is by throwing a bow, watch out next fall I’m going to be buff, then it’s on!)

 

My Boy, “BIG AL” - Well, I guess I probably don’t need to say much because you’ve already heard what I can say of how I feel. Gezz...so many memories. Thank you Alex, for everything and just your friendship. No matter how much you try to argue with me and no matter how many times I win, you’ll always be my boy.

 

Last and anything but least.

 

Coach Whittemore - How can I even begin to express the amount of gratitude that I have for you. You probably don’t think much of some of the things that you’ve done for me, and those are probably the things that have meant the most. You know how I am with words...and questions...hey, I’m working on it, but anyway all I can think to say is Thank You. I’m not sure where I’ll be next year or how much I’ll be around. But I promise I’ll always be cheering for your team, because I know they’ll have one heck of a coach.

 

It's been great and I couldn't be any prouder of the Falcons. These have been, by far, my best high school memories.

 

~Good Luck to all the future falcon teams and coaches~

Did she say fear or Stalker? and did she say Larry or Steve?

Thank you Danielle for everything that you have done for the school, the Team and for me. I really appreciate everything that you did. Every school needs more students like you that really care about their school. P.S. I really like those new sporty vents you had put in on the side of your car. Cutting edge stuff man.

Thank you for that research and for your overall post. I believe that whatever comes against you will only make you stronger if you know how to deal with adversity. And this year we had a LOT of adversity. This season is a reflection of what kind of players we have. Coaches look for players with good moral character. I, and the other coaches, truly feel that we have been tremendously blessed to coach these kids. When your team is abruptly changed before and during the season (we started with 6 seniors and ended up with one), it is difficult if not impossible to develop a game plan and coaching style to fit young kids (a host of freshmen and sophomores). Coach Whitt was coach of the year last year, but I really feel that he did a much better job than last year. I am honored to say that I am an assistant of Coach Whittemore (Mr. Clean). I am also honored to say that I have coached with Reed and Smith, along with Whalen and O'neil from 2 years ago. This may be around the same sentiments I said last night but there are no words to express the gratitude I feel that GOD has blessed me to be in this position, a great program, a great group of kids, and a great community!!!!!!!!  thumb  Until next season......... GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!

How could lose 6 seniors?

[volfalcons]

Actually................pretty easy.

[JLB]

Yep, it was.............

Not all of them quit during the season. Two, Vanzant and Ryans, quit after last season and did not practice during the summer. One, Lindholm, transferred to another school in August. Three, Tipton, Hughes and Zook, left the team before the season was over. Zook played the whole regular season and quit before the tournaments. We will not have that problem next year, there is only one junior on the team.

My bad, I wasn't including Vanzant and Ryans, but was including AJ, who left for Georgia, but he's a junior. So it was 5 seniors to start with.
