A Great Season Comes to an End . . .

The playoffs are over for Dacula National North . . . yes, already. We were stomped by the top Millcreek team in the first game yesterday, no need to put the awful score in print. The boys were discouraged and there were lots of tears. For most of them (including Ethan), this was their first experience making it past the regular season and they wanted to do well. Coach Gower was encouraging and praised them after the defeat, reminding them that they had risen to the challenge and gone further than anyone expected this 'C' team to go. They had done their best!

I love the picture above; Coach Gower had chosen his nephew and the coaches' sons as captains for this playoff game. They looked so tough walking across the field to meet their opponents. It seemed to represent for me a great season of dedication and perseverance from the boys and their dads/uncles.

Congratulations,

Dacula Falcons National North!
