Excited for our football team's playoff game tonight vs last year’s state champion Clinton Massie. Gametime is 7pm here at the U!!
Our high school students that are members of the Drug Free Clubs of America had the opportunity to participate in the downtown rally today. We had over 200 students participate. Very proud of our students for pledging to remove or keep drugs out of their bodies and lives! There is nothing good in disrespecting your body by taking drugs. It will not lead to anything positive. It won’t be good for you, your family, your friends, your community, anyone! You matter and what you do matters. Great job Drug Free Clubs of America students and any student that is leading a disciplined life making great decisions!
Have a great weekend and remember to carry your own weather, hard work works, be grateful and 3 days til Monday!!

Congratulations to our volleyball team for knocking of the #1 seed to advance to the district championship this Saturday vs New Lexington at Southeastern High School at 11am! Nice job ladies and coaches.
Congratulations to our girls soccer team for winning at ZT and advancing to the district championship as well. Gametime is Thursday at 6:00pm. Unbelievable season and past seasons. Impressive job players and coaches!
Our boys soccer team with a win tonight vs Galia Academy at Logan HS which starts at 8pm will advance to the district championship as well on this Saturday.
Lastly, compliments to our band students and band coaches. It is always a pleasure to listen and watch our band students perform at such an impressive level every single week. Every single week. So proud of our band students and band program. Great job! I would also compliment the band boosters on their incredibly tasty fried bologna sandwiches cooked by some master level chefs for sure. Fried bologna on one side of the field and crazy good fish sandwiches on the other. Great job to our booster groups for all the support you provide to our programs and students. It is really appreciated. Thank you!
Excited and impressed, but not surprised, all of our teams are having such successful seasons. It doesn’t happen on accident. Intentional focused effort and work will lead to positive results. Incredibly rewarding to invest your energy, hard work, and commitment towards a goal and striving to accomplish it. Remember, these championships, undefeated seasons, making the playoffs, winning tourney games, getting ribbons and trophies all come from hard work. They would mean very little if they were easily attained. Always go the extra mile because it is never crowded. Very few teams and individuals elevate to the level of a championship. The reason it isn’t crowded when you go the extra mile is because so few individuals or teams actually go the extra mile. Actually, put in the extra work. There is nobody there a mile farther down the road or up the hill. It is just too much for some. I would argue the great teams and individual don’t view it as “extra”. It is simply what they do. They know it takes everything and then some just to scratch the surface of greatness. My challenge to you is to understand the work will lead to good results. It is the work, the process, the day to day grind, the pain, the pushing through even when you don’t feel like it, minimizing your excuses, and voluntarily accepting responsibility is your championship your extra mile. It is your trophy. Welcome all of it and know that going the extra mile is the gateway to you finding your best you.

I read the following from Brian Kight and wanted to share: You don't have to maximize your potential. You don't have to strive and strain in pursuit of personal excellence. You may not be interested in that work or that life. It is within your right to accept average from yourself, but choices have consequences. Accepting average and not pursuing excellence cuts you off from certain things. It also prevents others from experiencing and benefitting from who you could be but choose not to be. The best version of you has a profoundly different impact in the world than the average version of you. The decision to pursue excellence isn't just about you. It's about anyone who experiences you, relies on you, and believes in you. Answer the call. Do the work. I would add that adding discipline into your life and decisions can be terribly difficult and there is always an element of discomfort and in large part is why people avoid it. It is just easier to be less than yourself and to avoid discipline in your actions and decisions. Temporarily and in the moment it might be. However, it is not a mode for success or improvement long term. I haven’t met too many people, if any, that work hard, do the right things, are disciplined, focused, have follow through, do their best, etc. that are not successful. Not saying there may be a few exceptions, but generally speaking the universe is reasonably balanced and fair. So do the work and good things will happen for you!
A reminder no school for students or staff tomorrow, Friday, October 21.. Enjoy the extended weekend!! Carry your own weather!! Hard work works!

Hope all are able to attend our last home football game of the season which is also senior night, tonight. Game starts at 7pm. A special thanks to Chris Clark for coordinating a fireworks show for our senior athletes, families, and our community. A thank you to those that contributed to the fireworks as well. We really appreciate it. We plan to have fireworks at the beginning and throughout the game with a small finale at the end.
A reminder next Friday, October 21 no school for students or staff. Enjoy the extended weeked!! Carry your own weather and remember hard work works! It really does. When you work hard good things will happen. It is not a guarantee that working hard will get you the results you want but not working hard will guarantee you won’t get the results. I believe talented people don’t actually realize or reach their highest level of talent without putting in real effort and working hard. You have to work hard to be talented. We have all heard hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard. Rarely, if ever, can you avoid the work and still get better or get the best results. It just doesn’t work that way. And I say great, it takes work because through the process of work you inherently become better. If it didn’t take work, real work, then there will be no real value because anyone and everyone could have it. Most rare items are considered higher in value. So the more difficult, the greater the challenge, the harder to get, the more scarce the results or the prize are, the more valuable they are. The easier it is to get a trophy the less valuable the trophy is. Everyone gets a trophy. Ok, then everyone has a trophy. Low value if any value. The value of a trophy is equal to the amount of hard work it takes to get it. Don’t take it if you didn’t have to work to get it. Don’t do it. Don’t take it. It’s worthless. The value is in the work not in the piece of plastic, wood, and inscription saying you are number 1. It is in the work. That is your trophy. True value comes from the work and effort. The trophy will be nice to look at on your shelf and might impress a few people. But you will know the trophy’s value. Set yourself a goal to work hard in all that you do. This will set you up for the greatest opportunity for a valuable and productive life. A true trophy life. Strive for a trophy life!
