It ended too early...

(Just for the record, I'm going to try to keep this post as short as possible because it's not necessarily something I want to re-live.)
We went into the game with the most aggression and intensity we've ever had knowing that this was our night. We knew what had to be accomplished. We were told we needed to fight a battle that would be the toughest battle of our life and that we were going to climb a mountain that night. So we played like our lives depended on it. I belive I can honestly say that that was the hardest I've ever played in a football game. I studied Adna plays for hours and figured out what my keys were and did my best in the game at reading those keys and attacking the play and stuffing it in the hole. Defensively, I would say I felt like I did my assignments to the fullest that night. But on the offensive side of the ball, it was heart-breaking. So many prime opportunities that would have been game changers failed to fall through. We just couldn't capitalize when we needed it most. The backs ran hard and we tried to move the ball but we were unsuccessful. There were goals set that couldn't be accomplished this year and knowing that we couldn't finish what we started has to sting a little. I would like to thank all of my coaches for teaching me so much and making our team so successful. I would also like to thank Chase Chapman and Leo Mendoza for being great leaders, teammates, and captains. Not only are they the only seniors on our squad, they are good friends and amazing athletes as well. I love them and will miss playing football with them for the rest of my life. I thank the underclassmen for going to practice every day to give us varsity guys a good look at what were up against every week. But I believe no matter which Comet football player you ask, we would all have to agree that this season just ended too early. See ya next fall. COMET PRIDE FOREVER.
