Josh

Remember that day in July when you went to Memphis with me? We passed by Harpeth's stadium and I told you that's where the Super Bowl was going to be played this year. You looked at me with deadpan eyes and said, "We're going to be there this year and win it!" You and your teammates made it come true. I hope that you have enjoyed this season as much as your mom and I have enjoyed watching you play.

You had an amazing season this year. You overcame your "Cowboys Curse" and actually got to play against them. You made some hard-hitting tackles and blocks. I know that you love playing many other sports, but I truly believe that you excel the best in football. I hope that you will come back next year. I know you think that I am hard on you, but I truly love you, and want to see you succeed at the next level. Next year, Ellie will get to watch you play.

To the coaches: Mike, Hans, Darren, Jeff and the CPAs: John and Bobby. Thank you for your dedication this season in coaching the 9/10 Vikings. I know that you guys had just as much fun as the kids. You guys did more in bringing these kids together from all walks of life, and making them truly teammates. Thank you to the football wives of these guys for allowing them to spend all this time eating, sleeping and thinking football. IT PAID OFF!

Carla, you are always on top of things, and make this organization run smoothly. Thank you for giving your time, energy and efforts, and the sacrifices you made to make this year truly special.

To everyone involved with this program: BRING ON NEXT YEAR!
