Pirate Nation,
As our JV football season comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on what an incredible journey this has been. This year was filled with ups and downs. Every game was exciting to watch because these young men never gave up, even though the odds seemed stacked against them. But through it all, our team grew stronger, more resilient, and closer together.
Every player showed tremendous effort and heart, whether on the game field, in practice going against the varsity team, or supporting teammates from the sidelines. The adversity we faced only helped us mature — as athletes, as teammates, and as individuals. Watching this group learn to handle success with humility and failure with determination has been one of the most rewarding parts of the season.
We thank our players for their commitment and our coaches for their leadership. This season wasn’t just about the scoreboard — it was about growth, teamwork, and building the foundation for the future. Also, this season has been an important step in preparing our young athletes for the challenges ahead, both in future seasons and in life beyond the game. We accomplished a lot together and are even more excited for what lies ahead.
Thank you to everyone for the support this season.
Coach Clayton Jopling
