Kyle, bdad......I thank you for the kind words and for the endorsement as well.
Also, Let me say that (Rdbrnn16 and others) I hate to see this message board used in a manner that is harmful, hurtfull and disrespectful towards coaches, players and parents that I know and respect from my team as well as our opponents.
CNMOM, In retrospect, I do regret kicking the ball across the field when I was questioning to me what was an obvious error on the part of the offical. That action was not premeditated, but nonetheless not necessary. AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE.
However, I will never apologize for coaching with the same intensity and emotion that I ask of my players in a critical game against an amazingly talented opponent. Furthermore, I will not apologize for coming to the defense of my players and my team by engaging in conversation with the official. I feel obligated to take on that role so that my players can take care of their reponsibilies on the field. My players would have thrown themselves in front of a truck for one another last night and they know that I would do the same.
In closing, I am very proud of the way both teams peformed and I have the utmost respect for the the coaches, players and parents of both schools. The amount of support received by both teams in the form of fans and observers is a testiment to the growing popularity of the game as well as the work done to promote the programs. My heart goes out to the CN players and I am extremely proud of the way both teams played and conducted themselves.
