From Head Football Coach, David Bowen...
“Positive Outweighs Negative” and “It’s a positive JW community thing.” It’s a lot bigger than one game or one play. It’s bigger than if your kid plays or not. It’s bigger than if your kid plays a certain position or not. If everyone understands the big picture and helps us to continue growing and doing what we are doing here, then one day/year it will change, and we will all get to be a part of the winning and good times. A lot of things have to happen before you are a winner. We have played three games at the Varsity Level and have come up short each game. But, every varsity football player shows up to Saturdays stretch/film sessions, and our original team goal this year is still within reach. Our Varsity Football Players and Coaches are leaders on the Field, in the classroom and within the Community. Our football players “Lead by Example” and go out of their normal schedule to go and support other programs. I see and feel the change this year full force. All of us need to take a step back and watch how these young men handle hard times and bounce right back every time. Parents and Coaches want the same thing for our boys. We want them to have success in whatever they do. This year the “Big Picture” is taking hold and our boys are going to be some great adults. They will have success in their careers, they will also have strong families lead by their own examples. There is so much positive happening around here all the time that the negative is being pushed to the side. Believe in Yourself and those around you and Stay the Course!

Volleyball is so much more than wins and losses. I’m thankful for a night like tonight! Our girls battled and played hard tonight against a 4A and 5A school. We didn’t get all the wins we wanted but getting to hang out as a team after and watch them laugh, dance, sing, and and bond as a team is why I love doing what I do! We have such a great team and group of girls!
