For those of us who have been around the SaberCat football program for awhile, (this is my sixth year) Friday night's game is an opportunity that has been a long time in coming. This will be the first time a varsity SaberCat football team has ever lined up against a city opponent. Many former players who have laid the foundations for SaberCat football NEVER had the opportunity that you WILL have when you walk on to that field. Do not underestimate the significance of this. It is a personal battle no doubt, but you will also be representing all of the Fossil Ridge family. Band, cheer leaders, parents and future varsity players who will all be looking to the gridiron, doing all that they can do to support you. But only YOU will be able to determine the outcome. That is the great thing about being in the position that you are. The team who runs out on to French Field with the most determination to win will come away with the victory.
Like it or not, you will be judged by your peers in the city by the RESULTS of these games. They don't respect you just because you have moved to 5A. Respect in football, IS EARNED ON THE FIELD. EARN their respect. Lets have a tremendous week of preparation.
