Sport specialization can/is ruining small school athletic programs. Play your sport when it's "in season" - it shows you value your teammates, competition, and school community. You only get one chance at HS sports - cherish them!

Athletes that "specialize" in 1 sport wreck the athletic culture of a school faster than anything else. Multi sports athletes put the school, community and team 1st, multi sport kids are we before me people. Make the choice to play more than one!

Celebrated our seniors, team and season last night. Amazing bunch of young men. Battled adversity all year - stuck together - knocked off the
#1
seed in the playoffs. Above all of that they are quality people who consistently give back to our community and school.
Huge shout out to Byron Youth Football, everyone in Byron and the local area for making this possible! Going to be absolutely amazing for our community, businesses, district and program.

One of the best thing about football (or any sport) is you usually get a chance to get back out there and play again. Wednesday can't come soon enough. We are ready to play again.
