Vikings Football team

What a year. What started on July 21st, well actually it started before that. Once I realized I would be coaching this team, the recruiting began. I knew we had the best of the best already on this team, but I wanted to add pieces to the puzzle. And boy did we. When it was over we had all the best athletes in this area, all on one team. Then it was up to us to make a team. Along the way I assembled the best coaching staff I have ever worked with in my 20 years of coaching. And then having already the best team mom in history. The work was now to be done on the field. People doubted if all these "Superstars" could be a team, if some of the boys could cut it in football. But we answered those questions. We practiced, we scrimmaged anyone we could find. We played school teams, TYFA teams, Mid State teams, 11 - 12 year old teams, and when the season was here we were ready. We had one little set back along the way. But 111 days later we finally won the big one.
To the parents thanks for your support. You might not have always agreed with me, but for the most part you kept it to yourself, and supported everything we did.
To the coaches thanks again for your help, your time, and most of all your friendship. I am not sure y'all always thought everything would work out, but it did.
And to the boys, and this is what this is about, I love each and everyone of you. I am so proud of you. You are great young men. Thank you for playing football for me. I am so humbled to be a small part of giving you that Superbowl that you have been chasing. Thanks to God who makes all this possible, to Maggie for her support,and Mick#7 for all your magic. I love you.

Coach Mike
