With serious practice underway for the 2010 season, remember three words: Don't ever quit. When things seem to be darkest: at the end of the season you are 3-6 with some disgraceful losses. You finish third in a weak district. Ten players have left your team. Three more starters fall to injuries. Your coach was publicly disciplined and briefly suspended after a few parents complained. Your booster club has no money. Just 15 fans show up at your last regular season road game. Morale is lower than a snake with bickering on the practice field. You're asking yourself standing in the cold sleet of late October,'Why am I playing?' Faced with all that, you could still win a state championship. Every word is true. Happened last year. Best of luck to every player who sticks it out in 2010. Don't ever quit.

I agree
