"What a great way to end our season in the "Textile Bowl" and send our seniors out with not only a victory, but one last awesome memory shared with all of their teammates. Not only was it great for each of our seniors to score TD's in their final game, but it was equally as great to see them on the sidelines cheering for all of their younger teammates. Special seasons like this one are only created when the players develop an incredible bond as a team. Through hard work, common goals and a love for one another, these guys made Friday nights magical for the coaches and the fans!"

The coaches and players would like to thank Mr. Zubia and Coach Hoover for their support this season, and for allowing us to have this one last hurrah!!! Also, a special thanks to Tommy Orth for organizing the "Textile Bowl" events and to Heather Howard for decorating the hotel lobby and each player's door that made us feel truly special!

Parents, thank you for trusting us with your sons. Your dedication and commitment to the program is evident in your sons, which has helped us build this culture of determined effort, caring attitudes and grateful hearts!
