    With no HS sports, kids are: -Traveling out of state to compete -Intermingling with more kids outside their community in club settings -Not adhering to protocols like they were in a structured HS team setting Safest place for kids is with their HS teams. The logic ⬇️is flawed

    Becoming a successful team is all about sacrificing for the greater good. People have no idea how much a coaches wife does that. I’m thankful for all of our coaches’ wives & especially for my rock behind the scenes. Loved sharing this moment with her bc she is a big part of it!

    It obviously hurts losing but what stings the most is knowing this team won’t take the field again together. I’m extremely proud of @RedHawkFB & I don’t need a scoreboard to know that these young men are special! Love this team and thankful to be a part of their lives!

    Such a special and memorable ride made possible by so many people pushing in the same direction! Going to miss going to work with this team on Monday! Too many thank you’s for Twitter to handle so had to put in notes. The support this program has is amazing so thank you!

    The Fitzgerald’s have decided to change their defensive philosophy from man coverage to zone coverage starting October 2020. We are so excited about baby BOY Fitzgerald coming this fall! The girls can’t wait to meet their little brother!

    Finally got to meet our little guy, Thomas Mac Fitzgerald! Mom and baby are doing well and his two big sisters can’t stop talking about baby brotha! 2020 has definitely been a wild ride so definitely the perfect blessing at the perfect time!

    Honored to be named coach of the week, but should read staff and program of the week. I’m very fortunate to have a great staff, hard working and coachable players, and a lot of people pushing in the same direction. Definitely a program award!

    Very special day going back to Marist yesterday where I learned so much as a coach & the power of relationships. So many great memories on this field before I had a family, so it was really amazing having them there yesterday making a new one! And victory donuts to celebrate!
