This is a special
time of the year. The Christmas spirit is upon us and half the school
year is behind us. We can reflect back on our accomplishments in 2012
and begin to focus on what we wish to accomplish in 2013.
In 2012, our 8th
grade accomplished an amazing goal of “back to back” Metro
Lakes Conference Champions. Congratulations 8th grade on a fantastic
feat. Our 9th grade finished runner up for the second year in a row
and won the Metro Lakes Championship during their 7th grade year. This
freshmen class will be a tremendous asset to the varsity program. Our
7th grade team is in a position to show great growth. During the season
they worked hard each day, but never could get it together on game night.
There is opportunity for them to be very successful next year. Whether
you were blessed with a championship, or struggled to win a game, the
New Year presents opportunity.
Since the end of
October our winter sports athletes have been competing well in wrestling
and basketball. The athletes not involved in a winter sport have been
hard at it in off-season. Some ask “what is off-season?” Well,
it is a combination of weight room, core exercises, agility drills,
flexibility drills, speed development, character development, and just
plain hard work. It is the foundation of a championship program. It
is amazing the improvement our players demonstrate during this time.
Their bodies show gains in strength and size as a result of the weight
room.
I am thankful to
be a part of a coaching staff that receives this opportunity to coach
these outstanding young athletes. The hard work will be rewarded in
the coming months and be a constant reminder of what “CODE RED”
is all about. Our classroom efforts are doing great. Grades are better
than they have ever been, thanks to our fabulous teachers.
So, Merry Christmas
and enjoy the incoming of a new year.
It’s great to be a Cardinal!!
Coach’m up
