Coach Kautz:
Thank you for your encouraging words of support. For years I would shake my head in disgust when teams use the mercy rule prior to the start of the second half! Especially when there are 10-15 kids that did not get a chance to play in the game. I always figured by the next football season, all them kids that had turned out, and never had an opportunity to play, are basically starting from ground zero. If they are there busting their butts, they should get an opportunity. That, though, is my coaching philosophy. What goes around comes around. I personally, have been on both sides on this issue when I played for Neah Bay up until 1990. We blew some teams away, and than we were blown out in the State Finals by an awesome team. Along them same lines, we had also set a state record in the title game for penalties/yards penalized. Thinking about that state title game, we may have done better if we had a little bit of discipline. My firm belief is that two things will win you games: discipline and defense. A great deal of what is taught on the football field can carry over to their daily lives.<
