I first want to give credit to Ben Franklin. They came in and played their game. They were a great team and I want to wish them luck going forward. I am sure the game between them and Holy Cross will be a good hard battle.
Then as far as our Terrebonne Tigers, I am truly proud of the way we fought all the way till the end. We had a great season filled with plenty ups and downs. Overall there were many times we could have just quit and gave up. However, we fought through multiple injuries and losing our starting keeper to grades. I dont think we had our true starting 11 since the first month of the season. It was without a doubt a grind and we made it to the quarterfinals (2nd time in three year). This senior class has been special for sure. As far as the underclassman coming back, we have a good group of young men to build upon. We look forward to giving it another run next year.

I would also like to do a little write up for our 11 seniors.
Evan: Likely the smallest guy on the field the whole time, but isn't scared to challenge anyone. I remember our last game against Nevile who has a 6ft 5ish guy and he said I want him. I will challenge him and make things difficult. (This was starting OT) He has the heart of a champion.
Brandon: He tore his acl last year and it was hard to see him not able to play. He is truly a selfless person and would do anything for any of his teammates. Once he was back healthy it was amazing to see how much he grown not only in soccer but into a young man. He held our defense together this year.
Cyler: This season started off rough for him, but earn his starting spot back along with the other defenders. He was always 100% go all the time. If you needed energy on the field or for someone to get the guys going he was the one to do it. Some of the plays he made were incredible as if he may be part ninja.
Max: One of our few utility players we had. He started 4 years ago as a back up keeper for us. He then realized if he learned other position that he could play more. Since then he has played almost every position on the field at some point. He would likely run through a wall if asked to.
Aitor: Our foreign exchange student from Spain. I got to know you much more from a few car rides to and from games/tournament. You definitely love music and not just one type. You always seemed to have a smile on your face. You brought a lot of happiness to our team and I hope you come back to visit sometime.
Manuel: A few years ago when I meet you, i knew you as Jose's brother. I do wish we would have gotten to see you play 4 years. But we are grateful for the couple years we did get. Your work ethic when you put your mind to it was 2nd to none. I'm not really sure you understood what myself or any of the other coaches were saying, you just always said yes sir or nodded your head.
Dylan: The man with the good hair. I'm not sure how many times people told you to get a haircut. Overall you were a great player and never complained when we moved you all over the field. You just wanted to play.
Conner: Mr. TikTok himself. You have to be one of the hardest working players on the team. You really grew over the few years from just being fast to actually being good with the ball at your feet and becoming more comfortable playing.
Graham: I'm not even sure where to begin. I remember you when you were running around annoying your sister. I literally watched you grow up and become a great leader and young man. You played through many injuries over the last few seasons I'm surprised we didn't have to glue you back together. You gave everything you could have to our team. I am also grateful you asked me to be your confirmation sponsor. That was another awesome night.
Edgar (Eddy): When you transferred three years ago I never thought you would be as good as you were. But not only as a soccer player but as a young man. You are the definition of a leader and someone that the whole team looked up to. You were the biggest hype man on the whole team whether you were playing or supporting your teammates on the bench. It was really hard to see you hurt and not able to play this year for those few weeks. I'm glad you were able to make it back by the end of the season and make this playoff run to finish your high school career. Beckett will be ready for his first lesson soon.
Jahzeel: You have grow so much over the last four years. From not playing much early on to becoming a true force on the field. You literally gave everything you could and was always there to help anyway you could. I'm still not sure how you played over half this season with a completely torn ACL and a few other slight problems to go along with it. You never once complained about it either, you just said this is your final season. You had too and would find a way to play regardless of anything that got in your way.
It has been truly an honor to watch all of you young men grow over the last 4 years. I'm positive that you all will do great things in the future. This may have been the final whistle on your soccer careers, but it's just the beginning to some great/amazing times to come in your lives. If I can do anything for any of, you know how to find me. Other than that good luck going forward. Remember to come back and visit. And remember, its not goodbye.. it's see you later! #geauxtigers

Nice write-up for your 11 seniors coach. Good luck replacing all of that experience.
