On behalf of our coaching staff, players and support staff, it is indeed an honor for you to join us for another exciting season of Decatur Central Hawks Football. I hope this year is full of exciting and positive moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat and anxiously awaiting the next football game.
Our Hawk football players believe in our system. They believe in each other, their coaches, trainers, and their classroom teachers. With this in mind, we know that our program will continue to move forward. We expect our players to not only believe in the system, but to believe in themselves as well. Hard work is expected and demanded on a daily basis, not only on and off the practice field, but in the classroom and community as well. Excellence in all areas of life are continually stressed and supported in our program as our players have been the kind of people who appreciate this community’s support and expectations.
The expectations of our program are high, and that's what makes my job both challenging and enjoyable. The challenge to press on and improve our program on a daily basis continues to be an enjoyable part of my life. To our patrons and supporters of our program, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Decatur Central Football has been a huge part of my life! My family and I have always lived in Decatur township and we have always been proud to call this community our home. I believe it's the combination of great people, great players, a great school, and a great community that makes my job very special.
Again, welcome to Hawk football, and may this be a football season to remember.
