Seize the Moment 2015

You should be so proud of the incredible year you had! Thank You. Thank you all. I cannot adequately express the pride and strong emotions I feel every time I think about how lucky I am to coach young men in this community. Whenever I am at practice, a team event, a training session, a pre-game or game, see any of you in school, talk to a teacher, talk to a community member, talk to your parents or interact with anyone who knows anything about Bulldog Football I think about what great young people and student-athletes you are. You are all simply awesome. Being the coach of players and more importantly people like you is so fulfilling and fun, I often wonder what it would be like coaching anywhere else.  I am certain nothing like it is here. The team element that exists at Batavia is truly a unique one where everyone is going in the same direction and players assume whatever role or task is needed to get the job done. You do all this work and training and planning without ever losing your sense of fun or camaraderie and truly understand the fleeting nature of what it is you are doing.  Being a Batavia Bulldog Football player and coach is a special thing. You cared so much- not about just football but about decision making, serving others, being good students and being good people. I am always humbled by the team success- that is a simple by-product of your talent and all the work you do, but the decisions you make to represent the team and school with honor and dignity play a more important role in the success you will have in the future.  I continue to see themes that you have been taught and continue to teach- and they have made us a great program at BHS. As Seniors you set an example for all future classes to follow!

The theme of the season was SEIZE THE MOMENT and all of you did just that! I will never forget how truly excellent you became and how you built a special season out of promise and potential. Thank you CLASS of 2016- you continued a legacy of success that is unmatched in the history of Batavia High School!
