2022-2023 WILDCATS

HEAD COACH

To the Wildcat Community, Let me start off by saying I am excited to start a new season. We are coming off an exceptional season and looking forward to becoming the best possible team we can be in 2022. Although the staff remained intact, we are excited about coaching new faces. We graduated some really talented players, and we are excited about developing the next group of men that will represent the school and the community. The 2022 Wildcats will be facing a tough and challenging schedule this fall; this is not by accident. We believe as a staff and team that in order to grow and develop, we must go out and play some elite teams. By playing tough opponents in non-region play, it better prepares you to play against the top tier teams in your region and in the playoffs. As coaches, we are excited to see the growth from the start of the season until the end. To the parents of the current Wildcat football players, I would like to thank you for entrusting our staff with your most precious gift, your child. I will never promise your child playing time or instant success; however, I do promise to be as fair as I possibly can to your child. I hope and pray that over time, you will see that we care about your child way beyond their contributions on a football field. I promise to deliver a message to them that in contrast to what they see on news and social media, there are good people in this world. I will teach them to love and respect one another regardless of the color of their skin and their socioeconomic status. I will teach them to respect their teachers and men and

women of authority. I will teach them that success does not come before hard work and sacrifice. I promise we will coach them hard. We will tell them what they need to hear instead of what they want to hear. We will do this because we care about their future beyond football. Hard coaching goes hand in hand with love. I also promise to you that we as coaches will make mistakes. You will not agree with every decision, call, and comment that we as coaches make. However, I do promise that we will work hard as a staff to give this team its best chance for team success. Parents, I hope you know and understand that your words both at home and in social media can help or harm the direction of our success. Every season brings about its own times of hardship and adversity. Our success will be determined by how we as coaches, parents and players handle these difficult times. I hope and pray that you will refrain from negative and divisive remarks as we work diligently to bring this team and this community together. I would like to thank our Board of Education and board members for building our athletes facilities that they can be proud of. I would like to thank our high school administration for their desire for our kids to be successful both in the classroom and on the field. I would like to thank the Villa Rica Cluster for their support in bringing our two middle schools together as one athletic program in foot ball. No longer will we fight amongst ourselves. We will be one town, one community and one family. We are all Wildcats! I would like to thank our many sponsors for their contributions to our program and our student athletes. I would certainly like to thank our booster club and the Huddle Moms for the countless sacrifices they make throughout the year to feed, clothe and serve our players. Further more, I would like to thank the wives of all of our coaches who sacrifice so much so our coaches can be a part of your child’s life.
