Open Letter to Taylor Football Part 2

WOW!   What a fun and wild ride you guys have given us this season!   Thank you is not enough to say for the results of all your hard work!   You have not only entertained us on Friday nights, you have helped bring a community together.   It is hard think of anything over my last 22 years living in this community that has rallied us all together like Taylor Football!   It was a tremendous ride, so thank you!!

Special thanks to the senior leadership on this team.   Sean Engels, Zach Fulton, Cameron Jameson, Koty Kendall, Nick Koehne, Nate Marmol, Evan Martini, Austin Miller, Connor Murphy, Mark Murphy, Roman Murray, Ryan Sandling, Austin Slovacek, Wyatt Walton, Tristen Walton, Dylan Wical, & Michael Wood your finger prints are all over this team.   Your years of dedication to a sport you love were quite evident.  You set the tone for this team and raised the bar!   Thank you for showing us how fun football can be again at Taylor!

Brett Berra, Dalton Crouch, Hunter Gillespie, Sam Koehne, Jordan Mock, Hunter Murphy, Ethan Murray, Chris Mutter, Noah Oser, and Noah Urmston you are now on the clock!  You guys are now the leadership for Taylor football.   You have had great examples in front of you, so if you follow their model you should do fine.   I know you will be able to help keep this ship going in the right direction.   Make us proud boys!

Thank you Coach Huffman and his staff for all they have done!   Your countless hours of watching film, game planning, conducting practice, in the weight room, and having leadership development have not gone unnoticed.   You have not only given us great football players, but great men.   Your impact on our boys has not been only on the field, but in their lives.   As a proud parent of one of those boys, I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact your staff has had on my son’s life.  At the end of the day, what you have done for our boys off the field is far greater and more important than what you have done for them off the field…  Thank you.  

I would be remiss if I didn’t thank say something about the wives and family of the coaches.   Thank you for sharing them with our boys.   Most people do not realize the commitment you all have made to Taylor football too.   The extra burden you take on during football season is tremendous.   Not only are you the emotional support for them during the football season, but you are picking up the slack left behind due to their commitment.   The tremendous thing is you would have it no other way!

Again boys, thank you for the exciting ride!   The fall you have given us will not soon be forgotten!

Am I STILL proud to be a Jacket?   YES I AM!
