FRUSTRATED TAZ |
However, one of the lessons of winning is that hard work and determination is required for continued success. Our middle school had the opportunity to learn this lesson when they played Ardmore. Taz thinks that our guys just showed up at Ardmore, overconfident in their success, thinking that Ardmore wouldn't even try. And yes, the Red Devils are good enough to win, when they put forth the effort and show the desire to execute every play to the best of their abilities. But no, they are not so talented that they can merely show up
and walk away with a Victory.
The young Red Devils are reaching the age where they are mature enough to understand that every play of a football game is a battle within a war. You can not lose many battles and expect to win the war. And yes, some plays are
more important than others and are known as game changers or momentum shifters. You win those battles with effort and execution and not with half efforts and lack luster performances.
That is the sad truth of the loss at Ardmore 14 - 6; we could have won, we should have won, but they wanted it more than we did. I look forward to seeing a group of players who are hungry for a win in the regular season finale against Clements, kickoff 5:30 am - Elkmont; young men who have learned from the loss against Ardmore and are resolved to have a singular focus and a common goal of doing everything within their power to step off the field having brought home a Victory for the Middle Devils.
Go Devils!!! Taz.
