As you can see from a parents point of view it is very hard to remain positive. I for one was very up front and real with my son, I didn't want him to feel that any of the goings on was due to him or his team mates. These players were treated wonderfully in years b/f the 'best that money can buy' coaching staff. They were fed hot meals before and after games, they were given summer practice and fall practice clothes that they wore with pride. This past year they were not fed out one time, they didn't want them fed before the game and the shorts and tshirt that they got was not permitted to leave the locker room. With all of the booster money going to 7on7 and back camps they had to settle for a 'freebie' banquet depending on community donation for plaques. This years team has had an even harder struggle just trying to find a place to lift, trying to keep enough out to play, spring ball really disheartened a lot of them.

Things will change guys, stick together for each other and make it fun. Give it your all for your team mates. This season will be a rough one, but hard times give us character and make us appreciate the good times, next season will be much better. Us parents understand the battle that you face and have faith that you can make it through this. We are there for YOU.
