A Season
In The Books
“Getting knocked down isn’t a crime. Not
getting back up – now that’s a crime.”

To the 2006
Neshaminy Redskin Football Team:
For the past two
and a half months we’ve had the pleasure of
watching you show up at game time each week and
roar on the field, ready to go. And for
the record - every second, minute and hour of
the experience of watching your exploits was as
good as it gets. Now that it’s over, we’ve
realized very quickly just how much we’re going
to miss the season. It sure went by fast.
What a year too!
Featuring some terrific highs (the four game
streak after St. Joe’s, that comeback against CB
South, the Abington cliffhanger win and
Bensalem) there were also some mighty low
moments too - Pennridge, North Penn, Pennsbury.
But then again, what do you expect as this game
of football is a lot like life. Just when
everything seems to be rolling along the way you
planned, the rug gets pulled out from underneath
your feet and you end up flat on your backside.
Sure hurts when that happens, doesn’t it?
But like that
quote up above advises, better get used to being
floored from time to time; however, as it also
says, you better get used to dusting yourself
off, standing up again and getting back in the
fray. Because whether it’s life – or Neshaminy
Redskin football – it’s all about the trying;
all about the effort; all about the competing;
all about the doing; all about the involvement.
Get it?
So that’s why we
can say we had the pleasure of watching you each
week. Yea – we had the pleasure of
watching your efforts, your fight, your drive,
your energy and your mettle. That’s what
we enjoyed. Oh by the way, in case we
forgot to say it – thank you.
Now in closing,
and to you seniors, get ready for the next level
as it just gets trickier, not easier. Plus
we’ll miss the lot of you but just remember
there’s always a seat in Harry’s House
for a former player. As to you sophomores
and juniors; let’s just say we’re expecting a
lot from you guys (and we do mean a lot because
here at Neshaminy, we aim high). And one
last thing – there’s always next year.
We’ll be waiting.
