Had not won since 91
Came close 3 of first 5 years - lost by like 10 total points in 3 of 5 losses... other 2 were by a billion haha
Our year:
We started the year with lots of ineligibles - went 2-1 without them - the one loss was in week 1 and I went for 2 with no time left to win...They ended up in the playoffs and we did not... that game mattered....
Then we were at full strength and went 3-1 with the only loss to a great big school team with some dudes...
Next game QB goes down in 2nd qtr when we were up 13-6, and we lose.
Then the crap hits the fan - We find out on Wednesday, 11/5 that we lost about 8 kids (4 to way starters) to grades and truancy (too many tardies and/or cuts)... Restructured gameplan and then have to play 48 hours later... We play bad and are down 29-7 but finally come back to make it 29-27 but run out of gas and depth to lose by 9...
So, now we have lost 2 in a row and are about to play our undefeated, league title already clinched, 1.8 miles away, rival who we have not beat since 1991...
My gutty dudes go up 7-0 right before half.... they tie it early in 3rd... end up tied 7-7 and go to overtime....
Watch clip below for the ending if you have a few minutes...
Coolest part of whole night was having grown old men wearing their old dirty lettermen jackets hug me and thank me while shedding a tear...
My kids are the best 6-4 team ever and it felt great to kill the streak...
Celebration was off the chain...
Clip starts in overtime
California overtime is 1st and goal on 10 - similar to college
We are on defense to start...
