Back to Back

Normally I don't cheer for any team from the south. However, since I teach at Las Vegas High School, an exception needed to be made in this case. LVHS defeated Galena handily in the 4A state football championship 33-6 this afternoon. If you want to know more, read about it in either the LVRJ or RGJ on Sunday. My hats off go to Galena for surprising most people who follow high school football in the state for even making the finals. They played well in the first half and went into the locker room down by only one, at 7-6. However, the Wildcats demonstrated why they are the defending state champs and came out with their adjustments to turn the game into a romp. Congratulations are in order to the coaching staff at LVHS. Also, as a coach in other sports, the administration and boosters of LVHS need to be thanked for their continued support of athletics. I have been fortunate enough to coach at two schools (Sparks High and Las Vegas High) where the schools have been supportive of athletics. It makes not only coaching enjoyable, but also makes teaching that much easier since I don't have to stress over anything coaching related.
