THERE MUST BE BLOOD IN THE WATER...

Over the past few seasons, we have actively sought out games against all of the public schools in the PC area, all but Rutherford (5A), Wewa (2A), Freeport (2A) and Bethlehem (1A) have dodged us without shame. And maybe for good reason. Our little school of 52 students (boys included) beat Rutherford by 29 and 39 points respectively, Wewa by 51 points and beat Freeport by 19 points. Bethlehem remains the hurdle we struggle to get over.

This season, the local schools must smell blood in the water knowing that Haley, Chelsea and Jess have graduated, because they are coming out of the woodwork asking us for games.

In addition to playing Top 10 ranked Alabama schools Pike (3A) and Providence (1A) this season, we have agreed to play a 1/1 with Freeport (2A), Wewa (2A), Bozeman (2A), Rutherford (5A) and Arnold (4A) this season. And I just got an email this morning that Bay (3A) now wants to try and get them some too.

Embrace adversity. For it is through adversity that triumph tastes the sweetest.
