PHHS 28 Westhills 26

Congratulations to all the players and parents on the win yesterday against the Wolfpack. There were many highlights to go around and I might miss a play or two. But there were several players that earned their "PH" for their helmet for their hard work, hustle and sacrifices they made for the team:

DT Tysheen Webster for his QB pressure and interception for a TD.
WR/P Brady Esterbrooks for his Mike Scifres imitation of punting the ball down inside the Wolfpack 5 yard line.
RB David Ringgold for his hard running as he barrelled over a DB on a sweep play.
SS Brandon Salgado for his 3 tackles for loss on defense.
OT Alex Giles for his blocking on the line and creating huge holes.
RB Travis Gubbe on his hustle, great attitude and long TD reception.
LB Tucker Caddy for his long snaps and forcing a fumble.
FS Arron Rocha for thinking of others, helping fellow players and coaches.

I had 1 goal for all the players for this 1st game... And that was to COMPETE! In life, everything is about competition and our players did just that, COMPETE! Nobody stood around, everybody hustled and everybody gave their best effort. That is what life is, giving the best effort!

There was a huge crowd for the game and I hope everybody enjoyed themselves. It was a good start but we have a long way to go and a lot of work we still need to put in to do well for the remainder of the season.

I gave the players a well deserved 4 day Holiday weekend and I will see them all on Tuesday at practice. Our next game will be at Pt. Loma HS on Saturday 9/12/09 at 10:00 am.
