Kickoff to This Football Season by Cameron Huett

Kickoff to This Football Season

        For most people, the beginning of school means the end of summer the start of waking up earlier and dreaded homework. However, for a few of us students, it means the start of another football season. While some of you may think that a football team is only about winning championships and being a bunch of knuckle headed  jocks, for us it means the start of a brotherhood. 

         Excelsior Springs Tiger Football has always been about building boys into fine young men that will contribute to society. This year’s team motto is “Win the Day” meaning that we must put in 100% effort every day no matter what. All football players are taught to respect each other and everyone around them and to give 100% effort in the classroom. We have always been told that we are students first and athletes second. All students must maintain a grade of over a 2.0 in all classes to practice and play. Athletes are also expected to be at school, on time, every day and cannot practice or play if they are late to school. Tiger football is truly a band of brothers that will always help each other and all others around them. We will always set the bar high and be role models for others to follow. I hope that this week’s blog has changed your view of the football team or verified what you may have believed. I hope to see all of you readers at Tiger football game every Tuesday night.
