Offseason Begins

Even though I’ve played every game it never really felt like those were my games or my season. I played my hardest, don’t misinterpret me, but it never really felt like I could say that this was MY season.

However, with the conclusion of the Xavier game that brought our season to a bittersweet note, the juniors are now the seniors for football. The clock is now ticking for the season that we may call ours. We as a class and as the new leaders of the team want nothing less than to go all the way, and bring home a state championship trophy for our school.

To do this we must work harder in the off-season and during practices next year than any other team, this will grant us victory. Personally, I want to be able to be stronger than any opponent I face in next years game. I must commit myself to the weightlifting program and never cheat myself or my team by cutting any corners. I want to go above and beyond and be able to lift and lead the Cougar football team to new heights.

Ever since I was a little boy and was introduced to the greatest game I’ve wanted little else than to win state. This is a huge goal though and I can quickly recognize and see that this won’t happen unless my team is willing to commit themselves similar to as I have. We all want to achieve this goal, this dream, but the amount of desire that our team and as individuals have will determine if we possess strongly the will to win.
