I have had the privilege of coaching with Dave now for 2 years, and I can honestly say that Dave truly cares about your boys and wants nothing but the best experience for them. His greatest desire is for them to have a great time and to learn the game of football. I can promise you that there is not ONE other team in our league that learned as much about football as our boys did or had as much fun. Dave has been criticized by other coaches all year who would say that our team would never do well and could never endure a long hard fought game because he doesn't run them enough or make them hit enough. Well, funny thing is... Daves' team is still in it and all those other teams are done and have already turned in their equipment.
In the first game of the season we were beat pretty bad by this AF team that we played for the championship. The boys showed how hard they worked with their coaches this season by having a great showing in the championship game.
AF scored the first touchdown in the first quarter, but we held them from getting the extra points. We then scored right before halftime and got a one point conversion going into half time with the lead 7-6. We held them until half way through the 4th quarter. The score was then 14-7 for AF. Even though we fought hard we weren't able to score before the clock ran down.
I know the boys were disappointed, but as a parent of a boy on this team all I can say is great job Pleasant Grove Vikings. You came a long way from that first game of the season and had a great game in the championship. I am proud of all of you.
