Football Season (HS) is Quickly Coming to a Close

Yes, you read the title right!  the 2011 Football Season for the Mustangs is quickly coming to a close.  They enter into their second-to-last week of games this week.  They play the best team in our district and this team is now either #6 or #7 in the entire Country, I believe.  Yes, they are an awesome team.  Yes, they are always an awesome team.  Yes, they will always be an awesome team, even in those rebuilding years that come.

Do I believe the Mustangs can be an awesome team in the future?  Yes, I do.  Do others in the community need to believe this can happen?  Yes.  Do boosters/parents need to believe this can happen?  Yes.  Do we need people to not move to another area of the district to just go play on another team?  Yes.   Will the mustangs be a better team next year?  I believe they will be.  Do I believe they will have more wins next year?  Yes, I do.

Now, is all of this up to the coaches?  No, it isn't.  It is also up to the players and parents.  Football is such a mental game.  Yes, you need to have players with talent and athleticism.  Yes, you need to have coaches that know how to coach a winning team and know how to mentor, teach, and grow young men.  Yes, you need parents who are supportive of not only their son(s) but also the fellow coaches.  Yes, yes, yes.  All are needed.  Can we have all of this next year?  Yes, I believe we can.

So, as the season starts to end I hope and pray we end on a strong note.  I, unfortunately will miss the entire last week of the season and all of the last games (sub-varsity and varsity); however, I will be thinking of the coaches and players from afar on my business trip.

The good news:  I will have my husband back so soon!  When I return from my business trip the season will be over.  We will finally have weekends again!  We will finally be able to go to church as a couple/family again!  We will finally be able to work on that never-ending to-do list again!  I am so excited for all of these things!  I wish they could go to playoffs this year and would be more than happy to give my husband back for this to happen.  However, playoffs are not in the plan for the Mustangs this year.  Hopefully, next year.

We still have the Aggie football season going!  Whoop!  We also still have the Colts season going, even though we are desperately missing Peyton.  So, keep fighting Colts!  Keep playing hard Aggies!!
