Hello everybody,

I would like to say "Thanks" to everyone for their participation this year.  I know it was alittle bumpy at times but we stuck it out.  I do hope that everyone returns for the 2009 season.  I am proud of the sixth graders for their hard work and believing in the Oak Hills Little Highlanders.  Good luck playing up in the middle schools.  I also would like to say, to Coach Merk and gang (first grade black), Awesome job with your team.  It is a wonderful feeling to take a team of first year kids and make them into players.  Thanks to the parents of his team for backing them up and believing in him.  For the rest of the black teams I hope that everyone is willing to put in some more hard work for next year.  You all have what it takes it is just going to take alittle time to get things going in the right direction.  Have faith and patience with it and it will all work out.  Nothing good ever comes easy, right!  I feel that with all the teams we need to do more work as coaches during the off season and come into next season with a bigger better plan for ALL the kids.  We have alot of good coaches in place we (as a board) need to make sure they are in the right spots.  Once again I am proud to be a part of this organization and a part of Oak Hills football.  Hopefully I will be able to continue coaching for years to come.  Next year will be 17 years for me coaching Highlander football and let me tell you it is still just as fun as when I first started.  Thanks for everything....

ONE HEARTBEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
