Thank you to Coach Faircloth, Staff, and Kids

[pngfan1]

First off a big thank you to Coach Faircloth. You have shut up the nay sayers and far exceeded EVERYONES even our expectations. You have shown the boys the right direction and they have taken it. You have taught them more than just X's and O's. You have demanded as much equally out of them in the classroom as well as on the field and it will take these seniors places. You have brought pride back to PNG even amongst the students who could care less about football.

To the staff(unsung heroes). No successful HC can do it without a great staff sorrounding him. I have heard great things about each and everyone of you. Like sitting at lunch with students(not even football players) to get to know and mingle with them. The list of things could go on, but thanks for your efforts.

To the players, seniors first. You guys believed and achieved. The hard work all spring and summer has shown. Ya'lls futures are very bright, take the experiences and lessons you have learned and go succeed in life. To the guys returning, keep up the work ethic Coach Faircloth has instilled and we will get even better.

Mostly, I hope all the coaches are as happy here as we are to have ya'll. Truly hope to keep each and every one of you for a while. Ya'll are first class and fit in well.

Thanks to all for the run and we will continue it next season. Scalp em.

I too would like to thank the Coaching Staff and the team.

For the coaches - you came here with a job to do - to turn around a program and the mind set. I commend each of you. You came together as individuals with a vision and a mission. You no doubt believed in yourselves, your ability and the athletes. You took young men from a "can't do" attitude to a "CAN DO" attitude. You helped bring out their individual talent and helped them to take it to the highest level possible. You brought back their pride in themselves and the importance of the fact that there is no letter "I" in the word team.

For the team - you no reason to hang your heads. I commend each of you. You started last spring with all new coaches, new ideas and a new mind set. Change is not easy, but you embraced it and grew from it. You came together as team and played with as much heart and determination as I have ever seen. Each one of you doing so not only for yourself but for your coaches and team mates.

Back in September, the INDIAN NATION had no idea what was instore. This year has been an awesome ride for all of you as well as us. Coaches and team - you created great memories for yourselves, each other and the INDIAN NATION that no one can take a way. The INDIAN NATION looks forward to a great next year with the coaches. For the graduating seniors - the INDIAN NATION looks forward to seeing you next year in the stands cheering with us. I can promise you the chill that ran through you when you heard CHEROKEE as player will still be there when you are sitting in the stands. HONOR - PRIDE AND TRADITION LIVES ON !
