POST 2007 FOOTBALL SEASON ANALYSIS REPORT

Now listen up all you graduating Seniors in the Class of 2008... we got us 5-months of perspective now on this past football season. Let me and our community tell you this:

YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF CONTINUING THE WINNING TRADITION OF ALAMO HEIGHTS FOOTBALL -- think about an undefeated run through District 27-4A, capped off with a come-from-behind full of character "never give up" win over #8 State Ranked Kerrville.

YOU DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB OF REPRESENTING OUR COMMUNITY WITH GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS -- remember in-game prayer vigil for the injured Kennedy player.

TAKE A LOOK AT THE NATIONAL (yes NATIONAL) VISIBILITY YOU HAVE GIVEN THIS PROGRAM -- one need only look at the steady line of college recruiters from across the country that now regularly visit our football practices -- this NEVER happened just a few short years ago.

The Graduating Seniors of 2008 did an AWESOME JOB of leading our Mules Football Team throughout the season!!!!! Nice work men, and all of us Mule Fans wish you well!!!!!!!!
