Congratulations Carter! A lot of history on that trophy. Like I said in my speech, statistically speaking you are one the most decorated football players in the storied history of metro football. Kudos!

Can’t say enough about this kid. The humility in his speech brought tears to my eyes. To say I’m a proud coach would be an understatement. BAD dude between the white lines, unbelievable kid outside. We will miss you Carson. Congrats on the Doc Miller Award-your 2022 Metro MVP!
The Sailor Football family added a future offensive linewoman on Thursday morning. Lennon Kay was born at 8:39 a.m. Lennon and mom are doing great. My wife is a heck of a lot tougher than me!
I just got the news today that one of our own,

@IFBCA
to be awarded the Don Taft Memorial Junior High Coach of the Year. Coach Knipp will be honored in between the 1st and 2nd quarter of the 2A Finals on November 22nd.
We had a lot of guys worthy of this award. This young man did it the right way and is as tough and gritty as they come. Congrats Ray! Its been a pleasure coaching you. Someone is going to get a heck of a ball player.
The Sailors competed hard the last few days. We had a strong showing and got better. This group will continue to improve daily by holding each other accountable. There is something special brewing with this group. Let’s finish what we started, and rise to the challenges ahead!
Congrats to Alex B. On being selected first-team all-state Offensive Line. He sacrificed and put in the work. Model TEAM guy! Alex was also named the Lineman of the year in District 4, along with all-district and all-metro honors. Great career. We’ll miss you!
Congrats to Mason K. on his illustrious football career for the Sailors. Multiple all-state, 4x all district, district MVP’s, and now the Glenn “Doc” Miller award. One of the best to ever lace them up!
Historic season led by a great group of seniors!

@iowashrinebowl
this past weekend in Hiawatha. First class program supporting a great cause. I’m excited to have been selected to coach on the North staff as well. Tickets can be purchased through Jake or Coach Schmit.
It always takes a few days to decompress after your season ends. This one hits a little different. To be where we were, at the beginning of the year to finishing how we did was one of the best turnarounds I’ve been a part of. It says a lot about the players we have especially

Youth camp was a great success this evening. Guys were competing and the effort was great. All-staters Feldmann & Buser addressed the kids and gave great advice. Like I said, they were in the same spot the majority of our campers were 5-10 years ago. No substitute for hard work!
Tonight is the culmination of lifting the weights, running the sprints, making sacrifices, and riding the highs and lows of the process. Play physical, play together, and refuse to lose!
I want to recognize our guys who came out yesterday and competed at West High’s annual Lineman Challenge.
@WahawkFootball
put on a great event to show the “hogs” some love.

Congrats to Carter G. and Caden H. on their first-team all-district and all-metro selections. This duo is going to be a force to be reckoned with next season.
Year 2 of helping the Cedar Valley Hospice set up for their Remember and Release event this morning at the Riverloop Amphitheater. We have great kids in our program—making an impact on and off the field!

Congrats to these 7 seniors who qualified for the Academic All-State Team. I would guess 7 recipients is one of the larger numbers regardless of classification. Success and competition in the classroom lead to success and competition on the field!

Congrats to Dallas W. on being selected Third Team All-State Linebacker. Great Leader, hard worker. Dallas was also garnered all-district and all-metro honors. Keep working!
It’s time to go out and perform. We’ve had a great week of practice. The team is ready. Play for the guy next to you, leave it all on the field.

Day 1 of camp was a tremendous success. Embrace the grind, get better every day. We’re looking forward developing our youth campers tonight from 5:00-6:30 @ T.J. McLaughlin Stadium.
Coach Klieman delivering and echoing the message we’ve sent all week....Leave it on the field tomorrow, fellas. Compete, and play for the guy next to you!
I don't care what star you are or any of that BS. One of the best kids I've ever coached had 0 stars, but he had unbelievable character, an unbelievable work ethic, and a burning desire to compete.
You have to attack the process and win each day.

"it takes the whole team, a collective effort to look at each other and say we got to man up here and hold our ground.”
Great words spoken by Carson. Couldn’t be any more true. Proud of where we’re at and what we’ve become. This should be a fun week!

It was great to be back out on the field today with the guys. They have been putting in a great deal of work and it shows. Keep it rolling!

I was one of the few that had the opportunity to experience Msgr. Steimel as a player and coach. He made an impact on everyone he came across. Msgr. would be the first one to congratulate you after making a big play, and also the first to let you know what we needed to do better
These 11 (minus Carpenter) guys did a great deal for the program. They set a standard and modeled what it takes to be successful in their daily practices. It was an honor to coach you all!
Congrats to Alex F. On being selected first-team all-state Defensive Back. He did it all for us on the field, and was an exemplary model for the underclassmen. Alex was also named the Defensive MVP in District 4, along with all-district and all-metro honors. Great career!
Congratulations to the JV guys for taking care of business last night. They showed grit and toughness in their 14-6 victory, converting a huge 4th and 11 to maintain possession with two minutes left to play. They followed that conversion by punching it in to seal the victory.
health was declining and he was unable to deliver chapel, Msgr. would be there to address the team every Thursday to give us his analysis from the week prior, and his scouting report for Friday’s game. While Msgr. is no longer with us, we know he’ll be watching over us always.
Solid performance last night led by two defensive TDs from Aiden and Tre. Thomas knocked one through from 45, and Carter connected with Myles and Nick for TDs.
You can’t lose if you don’t surrender a point. We have some DAWGS!
Continue striving for greatness!

Congrats to Jake B. for being selected to the all-metro team. He was also second-team all-district. Jake accepted a new role this season and excelled in it. Keep working hard in our pursuit for the ultimate goal.
The youngsters had a great camp! Positive attitudes across the board, camaraderie built, and guys genuinely caring and looking out for one another. The future is bright. Gotta give credit to our main man,
@CoachDruRob
for being a great supporter of the youngn’s and the program.
Congrats to Josh H. on being selected all-metro and honorable mention all-district Running back. Josh worked extremely hard in the off-season and were expecting a breakout senior year. Keep at it Josh!
Take notice. First team all-state as a junior, priming for a large senior season. Carson is tough, explosive, and has great intangibles. Looking forward to the fall!
Congrats to our other seniors, Patrick S., Joseph H., Ryan P., and Nolan L. for your hard work and dedication in your time with the program. We appreciate all your hard work and we will miss you!
