Yet another hard fought battle but this time against the Irish of Cathedral. Our boys came from a 7-0 deficit to go up ahead 24-17. Then in the final 3 minutes the Irish came from behind with two tries and conversion kicks to win 31-24. Jouse Schlemn and Richard Reyna earned their first tries at one each respectively. Mo and Antonio each added a try. Mo also made one conversion kick and Charles added another one from about 40 meters out and into the wind. It was a good game but every practice and every game we must make improve gentlemen. Next up...Del Valle Blue Devils. Strike fear into them and good luck!!! Remember...no one gets left behind.
First of all I want to thank everyone who worked behind the Scenes to make our first game a success (even though we lost).
This includes Mary, our manager who was out there working as hard as anyone to make sure people had water and was really on the spot whenever she needed to be. Also the parents that volunteered to bring water, Gatorade and Oranges, the players really need and appreciate your support, A big Thank You to you! A big thank you to Head Coach Eddie Leyva and Coach Barret for taking the time to teach and instruct everyone about the game. A huge thank you to the Captains, way to lead and way to make me proud! and last but definitely not least Thanks to all the players who showed up today and who show up everyday in practice. your hard work and dedication really shined through. Everyone should be proud of the work we did today, the team we played today wasn't an easy team to play and we fought hard from the beginning and when we saw ourselves at our lowest point, pulled together and almost pulled the stunning upset. What i sincerely believe we did today was earn some well deserved respect and set the tone for the rest f the season. We may have not won this battle but the war is definitely not over and if we keep on building on what we started today, we will be victorious. I hope to see everyone on Tuesday so that we can focus on our next game versus Cathedral next Sunday. ---- Coach Mario PS.
