Someone asked me today why it is that we don’t have more than one football team here in SQ(?). He went further to say he thought it would be more competitive if there were. I could have responded simply by saying the same reason there’s only one baseball, and one basketball team; but I didn’t. I tried to explain to him that we, the Blues Brothers, have a mission, and gave him a brief description of what that objective is. The discussion suggests to me a misconception of our program by the general population. My name is William, “Big Will” Packer, and I’m the Head Coach of the Blues Brothers and I’d like to give you all a broader, better understanding of what we’re all about.
This is our fourth season coming up under the sponsorship of Kent Philpott and Stan Damas. Their commitment of time and energy has made it possible for us to do what we love, and excel at it. This will be our third season with me as Coach. Under my direction we enjoy a 15-0 record, and we of course look forward to another undefeated season. Critics of our program are quick to point out that we are bigger, stronger, quicker, faster and better than the teams that come in to play us. They talk as if we should be ashamed of these facts.
They’re wrong, and we’re not ashamed.
What our detractors seem to be unaware of are the hours of conditioning and practicing we put in each season to protect our house. The reason we outclass the teams that come in to play us is due to our dedication to the discipline of football, and our development of the exceptional talents we’ve been blessed with. Our players are committed to doing the work necessary to be good, and quite frankly, better than the teams that come in to play us. We take pride in the tradition we’ve established, and we are dedicated to the fulfillment of our goals
As much as building character is an important part of our mission, so is building bridges to the outside. We’ve been blessed with the unique opportunity to play football develop friendships and fellowship with some pretty amazing people. Our aim is to continue to maintain these relationships, and provide the best entertainment possible throughout the season for our fans. Our ultimate goal is to one day develop a talent who will someday make it to the professional league, that we can all take pride and pleasure in watching him play. God bless you all, and I look forward to seeing you on the sidelines in September.
