This season we have a great chance of making the playoffs for the first time since 1991! Our schedule is not very difficult and our team has gotten so much better since last season! The Jackson Times paper says we should finish 5 - 3 and be in the running for a low playoff seed. My stomach is churning just thinking abot how incredible it would feel to make the playoffs for the first time in what seems like forever...

Whats even better (For me, anyway...) is that I am back in the starting lineup and completely healed up from last years injury, and I have been working so hard in the off season to get ready for our big chance this year at a conference championship! Furthermore, as a Sophomore, I am officially eligible to receive recruiting letters from colleges across the nation! Not that anyone will be interested in my after last seasons injury, but again, that just adds more fuel to the fire!

Recap:::
Wow.... what a terrible season.. Our record was bad... but its they way we got our record that hurt the most.. We started off 3 - 1 with some big wins over big time schools like Port Boyerton South who made it to the District 1 Championship game but lost to diamond falls. We were riding high and we knew if we could win 2 of our last 4 games, we would almost definitely be riding into the playoffs for the first time in a long time. The it started. The monumental meltdown. Coach blamed it on fatigue, we are a small school playing against big city competition and we just dont have the depth that the Port Boyertons and the sarita Cities have. But I think it is more than that. I think there is a curse that sits over our small town team and wont let us make it to the district playoffs. At one point in the season, we hadnt scored a single point in over a month, and our homcoming game was laugher as the enterline point tigers (who are becoming a bit of an unexpected rival) came into town and just blew us away after we beat them in week one. Our QB, he threw 5 picks in one game and our offense couldnt get a running game established because there was no threat of a passing game. We finished the season on a four game losing streak and the pain was unbearable, especially for the seniors who thought after the first half of the season, we were a shoe-in for the playoffs. Next season, I will be a junior and definately a team leader. I wont let this happen to the Blue Jays again. It was something I never want to experience again...
