Last weekend my alma mater team, the Servite Friars of Anaheim, California failed to make the playoffs. Sadly, the team whom I have watched and followed every Friday for years, will soon be watching playoff games like me as a fan, rather than as a player on the sideline.
Servite competes in the Trinity League which is the one of the toughest leagues in the nation. In addition, Servite’s non-league schedule was widely viewed as one of the toughest in the nation.
“I Would Rather Lose Competing Against The Best – Than Win Competing Against Average”Coach Chris – 2015
To the young Friars of Servite whose season is now over, I say “STAND TALL” for you have competed against some of the toughest teams in the nation such as Bishop Gorman, De La Salle, St. John Bosco, Bishop Amat, Mater Dei, Orange Lutheran, J Serra and Edison to name a few.
To the graduating seniors of Servite and to the seniors around the country who are completing their high school athletic careers, I encourage you to continue to seek out competition that challenges every piece of your physical and mental ability. Build each day on your own an any team, any time and any place warrior mentality as the Servite Friars. Take that focus forward as you continue to compete at the next level of your dream journey on the various courts and fields around the country.
Stay Strong – Coach Chris
