Coach Sams also addressed the crowd calling them “one big football family”. Sams went on emphasizing that the youth kids should strive to be good listeners, dedicate themselves and to always challenge themselves in all walks of life. Sams finished encouraging the players and cheerleaders to be “fighters” in everything they do. He pointed out that it is “easy to be a quitter” and hoped that they would all pursue the alternative. It was an inspirational message to all who were present.
