Happy Halloween!!
Ben Logan Schools gifted us with an amazing care package today to help us through this difficult time. We are so appreciative of their support and thoughtfulness.
Mr. Yoder,
I just wanted to reach out as a parent and let you and your kids know that they are true sportsmen.
I am a parent of a senior football player from St. Henry. I want to point out what I saw that made my first statement so prevalent. First, we walked into your home field greeted with friendly faces. There was no hostility like we face with our MAC teams. Secondly, when our team was on the ground after a play, your players made sure to step in and lend a hand to get them back up. Third, your coach was passionate about his players. As a swim coach, I know that passion. That fire is something I know I would be willing to play for. Lastly, as I was waiting for my son to come off the field, I saw the heartbreak of many of your players and the consoling parents absorbing the loss. I know that feeling may come at any given time to our team as well. But, rather than glares, we were greeted with congrats and healthy discussions from your parents.
This means a lot. You should be proud of your school and the community. Sadly, all of this is not something we get to see in our league all of the time. We could learn a lesson or two about being true sportsmen.
Great Job Pirates!
