These are two awards that everyone involved with the Redskins organization can be very proud of because everyone played a part in this season. As a coach I feel totally blessed by the good Lord above to have the most amazing kids to coach in the world. Thank you all for trusting me with your kids and allowing me to coach and develop them as players and kids. I also feel blessed to have the best group of parents in the whole league, you guys represent the team with class and respect and have done a great job supporting what we do. Thank you to all of the assistant coaches for your support and hard work and commitment to the kids and the program, these kids will remember you forever, you guys are the best coaching staff and a great bunch of guys. I also thank the cheerleaders and the cheer team coaches Marcie Rivera and Mel, you guys are the best cheer squad in the league and you guys represent the Redskins with class and excellence. Thank you to all the volunteer parents that help me with administration and operational duties. Thank you to all our supporters and friends of the program for being a part of the Redskins. Thank you to our sponsors Changing Pointe Ministries, Evans & Son Excavation, Yakima Muffler Shop, Sonic Drive In and The Sub Shop. If I missed anyone I am sorry and I truly thank you as well.
