Tanner is working to get back. Here is the latest update from mom:
Tanner is up walking laps, exercising the PT people, and then back to his room enjoying his natural habitat ;)
God is showing off now.
He fixed my baby!
Tanner had his trach installed today. It is usually a 15 min bedside deal that took 2 hrs for him because of the damage, but all went well. He will be having his next surgery next week. Thank you to so many for reaching out with love, support, and prayers for Tanner & his family!
The Lion is not the biggest in the jungle (that is the elephant).The Lion is not fastest(that is the cheetah).The difference in the Lion and rest of the animals is a MINDSET.When an animal sees a lion he thinks, “Run!” When a lion sees another animal he thinks “LUNCH!” -Ray Lewis
When people ask why you let your kid play football. Two days after a wreck that almost took his life. To be loved like this is priceless. These boys love each other immensely. They will forever. 💜

Wanted to update everyone on Chase Metcalf, who had a bad break in his leg during the game Friday night. Chase had surgery yesterday and will be going home today. Thank you on behalf of the Metcalf family for all of the concern and prayers!

1) JERSEY - to remember playing with their brothers❗️
2) PICTURE COLLAGE - to remember their great moments❗️
3) BRAVEHEART SWORD - to remember that God calls them to be a TENDER WARRIOR‼️
There are 2 pictures that I TRULY LOVE from our last CRUCIBLE this morning!!!

Trinity is more than a school…it is a COMMUNITY‼️
Our young men work HARD during the “summer phase” going from 8:00am-11:45am 4 days a week (Mon-Thurs)‼️
Thanks to our incredible supporters, we now are fed lunch each day after workouts‼️
THAT IS HOW WE DO IT IN SHARPSBURG‼️
We call this “PLATES w/PONS.”
Coach Pons is our Inside LBer coach, and is in the weight-room w/Coach D and our young men every day for the last 5 years.
Coach Pons is all-time leading tackler in Naval Academy history and 1 of 2 men with over 500 tackles in college football!
Incredibly proud of 4 of our young men who signed their commitments yesterday to play college football! Huge turnout of teammates, family, & friends to celebrate and support these young men!

In our program we talk a lot about handling the things that TNT (Take No Talent). Things like...
•Being on time
•Bringing ENERGY to practice
•Body language
•Desiring to be coached hard
•Fanatical EFFORT
This is our young men coming to DO WORK at 5:57am this morning!!!
17-10 final. Not the way we wanted to end it, but our young men played a fierce game against a nationally ranked football team that has a tremendous amount of talent and well respected football program. We learn and move forward together. Proud of our young men!
Inside our football program, we believe in our younger players training with the older guys‼️
The older players have a responsibility to lead, encourage, and mentor‼️
The younger players get the blessing to see things modeled and done the TRINITY WAY‼️
PROUD of our young men‼️
Big congratulations to
@ethan14mcdowell
