While standing on the sidelines replacing the defensive starters in closing seconds of yesterdays game an overwhelming thought was put on my heart: LOVE WINS!!
As each one of you came off the field and your eyes opened up and tears came streaming down your faces: LOVE WINS!!
As you hugged each other in sweat soaked, blood stained uniforms: LOVE WINS!!
As your family and friends came out of the stands and on to the field to congratulate and console you: LOVE WINS!!
The 2007 Fossil Ridge SaberCat Football team was HISTORICAL:
First winning season in school history
First ranked team in school history ( #6 in Colorado)
First playoff team in school history
First team to advance to the State Quarterfinals
All of these are outstanding achievements and reflection of hard work, talent and skill.
But NONE of these accomplishments would have been reached if you had not poured so much of your heart and souls into SaberCat Football.
Today it hurts, and it will for a while. But sometime down the road you will look back on the 2007 SaberCats with a huge smile. For you fellas ( especially the Senior Class) have laid the cornerstones for SaberCat Football to be built upon. Cornerstones of HARD WORK, DEDICATION, SACRIFICE, and most importantly LOVE.
Anyone who stood on the middle of that field as the sun disappeared behind the Rockies knows the story of the 2007 SaberCat Football Team: LOVE WON!!
Thanks fellas it was a honor to Coach you this season.
Coach Lefort
