3 Game Winning Streak!

Cowboys,

You are working together as a TEAM and playing like YOUNG MEN! The win over SSDIB (Red) Chiefs gave us a 5-2 record (which is the best football record in Santee). Keep up the effort in practice and the results will continue to show on Game Day.

Winning 3 Games in a row is a HUGE ACCOMPLISHMENT at any level of football! The coaching staff, your parents, family and friends are extremely proud of how successful you have been this season.

The win over SSDIB (Red) Chiefs was a battle. We took on a team that had both size and speed. But, we were the BETTER TEAM! We stuck together as a TEAM OF YOUNG MEN! We took on their best and held onto a 13-12 VICTORY with help from everyone from this TEAM! Everyone had a part in this VICTORY!

Cowboys, we are not done. We have more victories in us! This team can still get better!

Our goal this week is to continue the string of great practices and go into Chula Vista and make it our field for our 4th straight victory! Cowboys, believe in yourselves! YOU ARE ALL WINNERS! Amazing things can happen, when you Believe in Yourself and Work Together as a Team!

Work Hard, Play Hard, We are Cowboys!!!

Thank you,
Head Coach Ron

Congratulations On Your Two Game Winning Streak!

2 Game Winning Streak!!!

Cowboys,

Another great week of practice culminated into a total Team Victory against the Steele Canyon Cougars! The coaching staff, your parents, family and friends are extremely proud of how much you have improved as a TEAM throughout the 2008 football season! A 2 Game Winning Streak is an awesome accomplishment!

The final score was 28-12, but there was a key moment in the game where we all worked as a TEAM (players and coaches) and sealed the victory. In the second half, we were leading 13-0 and then Steele Canyon made it a game with a quick score to pull within 13-6. This group of players and coaches withstood the challenge and drove right down the field and scored a touchdown with a 2point conversion to make the score 21-6.

Then our 'Darkside Defense' stepped onto the field and shutdown the Steele Canyon Cougar's offense. Our offense got the ball back and marched right down the field like a machine to increase the score to 28-6. We quickly turned a tight 13-6 game into a comfortable victory! Steele Canyon slipped in late with a score to make it a 28-12 game. And, finally our offense ran out the clock to clinch our 2nd straight TEAM VICTORY!

Cowboys, we are not done. We have more victories in us! This team can still get better!

Our goal this week is to continue the string of great practices and go into someone else's house for our 3rd straight victory! Cowboys, believe in yourselves! You are all Winners! Amazing things can happen, when you Believe in Yourself and Work Together as a Team!

Work Hard, Play Hard, We are Cowboys!!!

VICTORY!

Cowboys,

Great TEAM Victory on Saturday against the Clairemont Hawks! We had a great week of practice and it showed on the field!

With the game on the line, the entire TEAM played like YOUNG MEN!!! The coaching staff, your parents, family and friends are extremely proud of you!!!

On our final offensive possession the score was tied 13-13 with less than 2 minutes remaining in the game. We drove down the field and found ourselves in a 4th and 15 situation from the 35 yard line. We took a timeout and made the perfect play call ('Slot Left, Strong, Streak'). The snap was perfect, the blocking was excellent, the pass was on target, and the catch and run was amazing!!! We scored the go ahead touchdown on a 35 yard pass play with 17 seconds on the clock. We then followed that play up with the 2 point conversion to put us up 21-13.

Now, it was our turn to stop them. Our 'Darkside' Defense was up to the challenge, because we stopped them on 4 quick plays. It took a total TEAM effort to win a close game!

Work Hard, Play Hard, We are Cowboys!!!

Thank you,
Head Coach Ron

As always, THANK YOU to the parents who volunteered at the game on Saturday: Beckie, Rita, Dave R., Dave H., Jenna, Larry, Rob, and Tyson. We couldn't do it without you!
