Coaches and players, what a great year. JK, thank you for bringing a vision and a plan to Ronda for this program. Players thank you for buying into that vision.

Seniors, thank you for leaving your mark on this program. I know your lives will be taking you into different directions, but when possible reach back out to this program and encourage the future teams.

I would not dare to tell anyone on these boards that East Wilkes will win a state championship in football. I have been around high school football for way to long. I will tell you this for the next several years this program will be in the mix as long as a few things continue to happen.

Work hard, do what the coaches ask of you. Be proactive, seek the coaches out and have them teach you the in's and out's of football.

Keep a level head on your shoulders and be humble. Respect every team and remember that it also takes good health to continue to play well. Ask and trust the Lord for safety.

Have fun. Never let football become a job, but keep it a game. Enjoy the ride as you are only young once. Have fun.

Next year will be fun. We lose several great seniors, but we also have a ton coming back. This team started at least 4 sophmores and there is a strong junior class in place. I would give a slight edge to Wilkes Central, however East should be right there with them. WC, East, Starmount, Ashe, Alleghany and West should all be well. Alleghany was so young this year, but that program has potential.

Sure wish it was the beginning of football season again.
 
Awesome RealFreedom. The cupboard like you alluded to is defintely still stocked with young talent, that just got a taste of what it takes to work, trust the coaches and each other and expect good results. They believed in themselves. The Cardinals have always had a dedicated fanbase. The community truly rallied around the team. The coaches and the players gave us a weekly show that was worth watching including a hard fought loss to a great Mitchell team. In essence continue to work hard, have faith, respect your competition and most importantly dont rest on your laurels, cause if you do believe me others will outwork you..Lets keep it going Cardinals. I B-E-L-I-E-V-E !!!!!!
 
Excellent. Congrats on your season and good luck in the future. Great hosts Friday.
