Letter To The Editor – To A Great Football Squad

December 12, 2014 By eastwickpress

To the Editor:

I don’t understand football – a ball that isn’t round but pointed at each end? But you guys had me hooked since back in 2013. I understand perseverance and teamwork, and you all have it.

I watched the Super game in Syracuse and at the end where you lost by a goal and conversion (not a whipping job you gave local teams). You looked upset by this one loss, and I understand that because you are kids. (Anyone under 70 is a kid to me.) But keep your heads up and backs straight because you got to the Supergame! Again! For this you should be proud.

The really big picture – you will tell your kids about your football career. You have represented yourselves, your school, your community and your fine coaching staff very well. Be proud of your fine work!

I will try to figure out why that ball has a funny shape.

Thanks for being you!

Bill Gaillard, HFCS Music Department (Retired)
