The Cardinals team is not running on luck....these young men have shown such determination to pull their team, which they consider their family, and the entire community back together. The majority of the students in the school have completely lost their homes as well as the majority of their personal belongings. Most young people in this day and age would have simply given up.....BUT NOT THESE boys! The coaches opened their home to the boys prior to the reopening of the district so that they could practice this sport they love so much. This tragedy has not destroyed them, it has enabled these young men to find hope and helped them to discover the confidence they needed to show themselves and everyone else that they are talented and capable. What I see in the eyes of these young men is beyond words. We are fairly new to the community, but have our feet firmly planted. My son is on this football team and the strong character and determination to overcome this tragedy he has exhibited since Ike hit, brings to me a measure of pride that I have never experienced.
GO CARDINALS!!!!!
I'll be in the stands....cowbell in hand! ;D
