Katy vs Pearland

There is not one single ounce of me that wants to write this post, however, I know when I look back at 2010 I want to remember the WHOLE thing, good and bad, so here goes.

The Tigers faced up against the Pearland Oilers on Saturday at Rice Stadium for the Region III Championship.  The game was back-and-forth the entire time and, unfortunately, we did not come out on top.  We DID play our hardest.  We DID leave it all on the field.  And we DID play with the heart of a champion.  I am so very proud of this group of kids and what they have accomplished this year. 

This time of year is so hard.  I hate to be disappointed in a 13-1 season, but I can’t lie and say Matt is happy about how things turned out.  I know the seniors were not prepared to play their last football game, and it breaks my heart to know this is our time to say goodbye.  I know GOD has BIG plans for them, and I trust in His plan.  I pray that the time they have spent here at Katy has taught them how to be a good teammate and a good person, but also how to be a great man and a great husband.

To my coach-

I am so proud to stand on the sidelines each week to cheer you and your boys on.  I wish I could take your pain right now and keep it all for myself so you don’t have to feel any of it.  Know that you have changed lives and these boys will always remember you.  I love you, always and forever.
