This Thursday night we will take the field with a chance to even up our conference record with a win. The Niwot Cougars come into the game riding a three game winning streak following their win on the road against Broomfield. We came to work last week on the practice field and progress was made on the field during the game. This week if we come out to work during practice, more progress will show up against the Cougars. Football seasons are not made from one game or four, but ten and maybe more.
I am not one who is big on the "Back In the Day" stories, but here I go. I played on a team that started off the season at 1-3. (sound familiar)This was a team that had a successful season previously, advancing to the State Championship Game and losing. It was a team that started the season slow, but didn't give in to self doubt. Instead they kept the faith, and came out with an all or nothing TEAM attitude. Whatever it took they were not going to come off the field with a loss. One by one they started picking off opponents until they clawed their way into the playoffs. Nine weeks later on a frozen field in Colorado Springs they were celebrating the schools first football championship in 43 years.
There it is, my first and hopefully my last "Back in the Day" story. But it is relevant, because it happens. Remember in FOOTBALL as in LIFE "IT IS NOT HOW YOU START, BUT HOW YOU FINISH!!" FINISH STRONG!!
