On pace to break all school career passing records. 

In round one of playoffs Dalton set a school record and tied a state single game record with 8 TD passes. His 471 yards in the same game was a school record and also top 10 all time in state history for a single game. Dalton is very composed for a sophomore and had one of the best single offensive seasons in school history. He has two more seasons to lead the Raider offense to more prolific moments.

Well it wasn't in the cards tonight to come out on top but really I was the big winner of the night.  I watched my three boyz come together and show admiration and love for each other.  Couldn't be prouder how they responded and how important it was to have Tabor join them on the sidelines.   On the down side Tanner will be on crutches for a couple of weeks and Dalton has been battling the flu for the past two days.  But from looking ahead we are three weeks away from wrestling practice, trip to K-STATE, Turkey Day, maybe pheasant hunting, deer hunting and a family trip to a very warm beach!  Thank you to all who supported us during football.  On to the next chapter!

We are ready to take the field!

A good football coach needs a patient wife, a loyal dog and a great quarterback – but not necessarily in that order.
