This is a special
time of the year. The Christmas spirit is upon us and half the school
year is behind us. We can reflect back on our accomplishments in 2011
and begin to focus on what we wish to accomplish in 2012.
In 2011, our 7th
grade was Metro Lakes Conference Champions, was undefeated and set the
tone for great things to happen in the years to come.
Our 8th grade finished 4-3, but was a darn good football team. They
are 11- 4 the past two seasons and have a fantastic future ahead of
them. Our 9th grade finished the 2010 season 7-1 and was co-conference
champs in the Metro Lakes, but in 2011 were snake bit with injuries
and eligibility. This is an outstanding class of athletes and will blend
well the in 2012 varsity team.
Since the end of
October our winter sports athletes have been competing well in wrestling
and basketball. The athletes not involved in a winter sport have been
hard at it in off-season. Some ask “what is off-season?” Well,
it is a combination of weight room, core exercises, agility drills,
flexibility drills speed development, character development, and just
plain hard work. It is the foundation of a championship program. It
is amazing the improvement our players demonstrate during this time.
Their bodies show gains in strength and size as a result of the weight
room.
I am thankful to
be a part of a coaching staff that receives this opportunity to coach
these outstanding young athletes. The hard work will be rewarded in
the coming months and be a constant reminder of what “CODE RED”
is all about. Our classroom efforts are doing great. Grades are better
than they have ever been, thanks to our fabulous teachers.
So, Merry Christmas
and enjoy the incoming of a new year.
It’s great to be a Cardinal!!
Coach’m up
