While reflecting over 2012, it is clear that the Stillwater Ponies football program has much to be grateful for and proud of. Our players, coaches, families, supporters, and booster club all shared in a momentous 2012, but, for the momentum to continue, it has to stay on track. Much work has been done, but there is far more to do.

Our players have been invested in weight training classes, after school weight training and conditioning, and winter sport seasons. Many have practiced football specific drills in the gym and dome throughout the winter. These young men know, for two years in a row, the difference between the off-season and another game has been one single point and they are committing their efforts to prevent a similar future.

Our coaches continue to analyze data from the 2012 season, investigate areas of improvement, and attend coaching clinics. Our 2013 captains’ parents have already met with the outgoing captains’ parents to transition into their role. Our booster club evaluated year one and is actively planning to make 2013 better by continuing to assist capital improvements and expanding the number of stakeholders in Ponies football.

These initiatives indicate passion, pride, and purpose to continue building our strong program. A great 2012 does not a program make. We need to press on. There is work to do. Keep it rolling!
