From Coach McCoy- It is our team philosophy that we want to take pressure off of our kids by not overdoing it this week. As a coaching staff and community we have had lots of experience with big games and in our experience unusual pregame/big game celebrations that happen tend to add pressure on our kids. We prefer to celebrate BIG TIME, when we win, instead of celebrating that we made it!!! Thank you for an amazing year! We've all felt super blessed and supported by our families and community.
How can you help? I have created a sign up of things that we need help with on Saturday morning. Please click on this link to view and sign up. All items will need to be donated and delivered to the school by 7:30 AM on Saturday morning. You all are so awesome! So many have already asked how they can help! Thank you for your support!
Banquet Information: We are looking forward to celebrating with you and thanking the Lord for this wonderful football season together! Our plan for our year end Metro Football Banquet has a tentative date of Tuesday, January 26. The COVID-19 Safety plan has been submitted to the Tulsa Health Department and we are awaiting its approval.
