An 11-2 record and being part of a six-year run of state finals is something to be very proud of!
Some of you may think this is sarcasm, and others may not buy my coming explanation, but I am being completely sincere.
I have always separated the program from the players/coaches. I have never rooted for FH to win a game in my life. Not once. To be fair, I don't root for them to lose anymore either outside of homecoming. Do I completely respect and appreciate, and feel good for any player that has ever won a state title there? Hell flippin yeah I do. I played. I coached. I know what these players put into the football season and all they sacrifice. I know how much time coaches dedicate each year.
So I have always removed my top hat and bowed to the accomplishments of the FH players and coaches. To the program itself for 7 state titles, nope. To the players on those teams, and really on any team that busts its ass, always.
