Well Done Jets

Posted by Dave Rea on Sep 07 2003 at 05:00PM PDT
On behalf of the Coaches, Players and Cheerleaders of the 2003 Varsity Jags, I would like to congratulate Coach Watkins, his staff, the players, cheerleaders and parents on your win Saturday night at Edwards Field. Some think that as a Jag Coach I don't want the other teams to succeed, that is far from the truth. I want all the kids to succeed. Otherwise I wouldn't have spent 8 years trying to get us all to where we are today, besides that I was the 1st Head Coach of the Jets. As diverse a group of coaches, players and cheerleaders that we are, we are all still members of the Buckeye Family.

Your team played with intensity and Buckeye Pride, and they got a victory for their work! I know how hard the Jets have worked to bring themselves to the level they have attained and I am proud of all of you. As I said many times over the 2000 season when the Jets were struggling to get started, stay with it and you will build a team that will win lots of games when they get that experience. That time has come to pass.

The big picture here is the high school program. Twenty-one of the fifty-five players this season came from the youth program, 19 Jags and 2 Jets, however it won't be long before plenty of Jets join the ranks of the Varsity Bucks.

Continue your focus and work toward returning to the Championship Game. In the meantime the Jags will also continue their work, and hopefully we will meet on November 1 for an all Buckeye Game. Again congratulations and keep up the good work! Buckeye Pride!

Coach Dave Rea
