Who is ready for high school football? We certainly are! We are ready to get behind our Falcons, Tigers, and Knights and cheer them on to lots of wins this season! These boys have worked hard since the last whistle of last season and are ready to get on the gridiron and play the sport they've grown up loving.
Many of these boys have grown up dreaming of taking the field on a Friday night, either as a Falcon, Tiger, or Knight, its a special moment each time they run onto the field. As parents, fans, or supporters, its our chance to get behind these boys and show them how much we enjoy watching them win!
I hope as this 2025 season begins, we will remember that these boys have put in countless hours of practice, but they will not be perfect. There will be dropped passes, missed tackles, mistakes, and fumbles. It's in these moments where we find out what we as fans are made of. Listen, it's easy to cheer, clap, and root them on after a big touchdown, but how we act after that sophomore who maybe just had a rough week drops that wide open pass, do we find out what kind of "fan" we truly are.
I'll be the first one to tell you that I am as competitive as anybody and I don't like it when my QB misses a wide open receiver, but these are kids. They might not like to hear that, but these players are still kids. Find me a 16 or 17 year old that's perfect. I certainly was not, and never will be. Are you perfect? No you aren't. So, on Friday nights when your team may not be performing they way YOU think they should, keep it to yourself. I promise you nobody wants to hear it.
I am not any better than any other fan, so this is also a reminder for myself this season. There are times when I'll think...HOW DID YOU MISS THAT? So I will have to remind myself of these very things I have just said. So...with that GO FALCONS! GO TIGERS GO KNIGHTS!
