I have an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach. It's one of those kind of feelings that will stay with me for days. I don't take defeat lightly. Especially after a hard fought battle. But today I have to come to grips with the reality that my highly touted Sun Valley Spartans fell last night to Glenn High School in Kernersville, NC.
What a year it has been for the Spartans. Going into the game they were 9-2. This is the best year I can ever remember. It seemed like each game they were prepared and ready for a war. I loved their discipline. I loved their all or nothing style. I loved watching their coach light boys up when their was the least little bit of complacency. It was so evident that these boys and this team wanted to win every game they played.
My dad used to say, "You can't win them all." Last night's defeat is proof that that statement is true. But just because you can't win them all shouldn't diminish the drive to win. It shouldn't take away the preparation. It shouldn't take away the desire. It never did for this team. They showed up every game and provided a season full of football memories. This Friday night won't be the same. I don't know what I will do with myself. I will probably just sit in my comfy chair and dream of what could have been. Oh what could have been. Thanks Sun Valley. You guys are great!! Here's to a season I won't ever forget.
A dedicated fan!
