Congratulations to the Donoho football and cheerleading teams for a monumental effort during the competition in White Plains on Friday night. Once again your sons and daughters inspired me with their drive, determination and spirit at the White Plains stadium. Not only were the Falcons smaller in numbers, but almost to the player, they were smaller in size than their opponents. Although the scoreboard presented the score on the field, it did not reflect the score in efforts of our young men. Drive after drive they showed the brilliance of successful young adults working together to finish ahead of their adversaries.
The cheerleading squad never sat down or quit, either. Ladies, you performed your duties, cheering and directing our Donoho contingency, superbly. From the visitor's side of the field, it appeared to me that we had at least as many fans in the stands as did the home team.
Parents, I imagine some, or all of you, like me, have spoken with White Plains administrators and parents who had complimentary comments of our players' abilities and drive. That match will go into the record books under the "L" column, but in life's lessons it is a "W". Be proud Donoho. You finished ahead of most, on Friday night, so keep your chins up and chests proud.
Adam Ledford was injured on a touchdown attempt and had to watch the balance of the game from the sidelines. After the game he told me he had reinjured an old injury, and would return for the game this Friday.
Please remember in your hearts and minds the family of Coach Keith Howard, Lincoln High School, who died on the side lines, while coaching this past Friday night.
