While our season ended in a disappointing fashion Monday, I will remember a lot of great things about this year. We were streaky, lost a few more than we won, made a lot of defensive mistakes, and hopefully learned a lot from them, but I smiled more on the ball field than I have in a long time. While there was quite a bit of enjoyment to balance the struggles, these guys battled everyday, played tough and competitively and had a chance to win each game. More than anything, I saw a shift in attitude from an unsure will to win, to a grown up play to win everyday attitude. That is a big step for our program which has struggled to establish consistency over the last few years. Again, while we didn't win enough - I don't know if you ever do - this team marks a change in culture in the program, a culture which will carry on.
Thanks Boys!
Please come out and join us in honoring the team and the senior class at the awards banquet on May 28th.
And, I hope to see you at some Gators games this summer.
