There's a quote in this article about Coach Lucas saying the 2014 0-10 team at Somerset was his favorite team to coach because they showed up every day and stuck with it and continued to work hard despite the adversity that they were facing. I had a conversation with Coach Lucas back when I was in high school along the same lines. We were playing a team that was winless, and we had a pretty good team that year, and I was just talking to him about how it surprised me that a team that was a perennial loser still had kids that came out and wanted to play every year. He said that's what he loved about teams and kids like that. They keep playing just because they love the game. They know they won't win a state championship but they keep coming out and working hard and playing the game because they love it. People always say football teaches life lessons but Coach Lucas was one of those guys that actually dug deep into the lessons that could be learned from every single aspect of the game. He was always more focused on the journey than the destination. Coach was a great man and I consider myself better off for having known him. Rest in peace, my friend.
