Subject: We lost?
I was awakened on the bus ride home by what seemed to be hundreds of flashing lights, sirens and horns as we entered the Burnet City limits. Still half asleep, I asked myself "Did we really lose?". We couldn't have lost and received such a wonderful welcome home, I thought. In reality we really did win. While we came up short of our goal Saturday, this team has proven that they are winners. So are our fans.
I want to thank you all for your unbelievable support this season! It means so much to these kids to know that you are behind them win or lose. We wanted to win so desperately, but sometimes life is that way and I only hope our kids can use this experience to help them deal with difficult times that will come their way in the "real world".
Corey Fullbright, the injured player from Everman, is in Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio and is still completely paralyzed. They did surgery yesterday and aren't telling anyone much right now. Corey is from a single parent family and his mother had to work and could not be at the game. Margaret Sullivan is having a fund set up at a Bank to help Corey and his mother and we will be sending out that info as soon as we have it. I know they would appreciate anything you could manage to give.
Thanks again for all your support and we'll go back to work so we can win it all next year!
Coach Shipley and staff.
