I really thought that in my second year of doing this, that it would have become much easier. Ha! I was wrong… Although, it remains as fun as ever! The first Friday night of Whatcom County high school football is my Christmas. And these past few weeks of driving to each school, and interviewing each coach has been fantastic. I said it last year, and I’ll say it again… High school football is special, it’s unique. There’s nothing really quite like it. It’s the highest level of football that retains its organic surroundings. You get to compete for a league championship, or even a state championship, with kids that you went to Kindergarten with. It’s one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life, but also one of the most memorable. If it was easy, more kids would play. It takes a certain kind of discipline, and a coachable kid becomes an employable kid.
Thank you everyone for supporting me, maybe some day this will become my full time occupation? I’m optimistic about the growth of this page, and how it will be able to affect the rest of the county.
