Coaches would often be heard using the phrases  lock in and  be coachable instead of boisterous clamors of approval or disapproval. Swearing is prohibited on the practice field. Coaches and players who fail to adhere to this rule are required to remove themselves from the field for the rest of the practice. The saying,  Practice does not maktball programs in the country. When I contacted Steve recently to set up this article, he asked me if I remembered him. Here is what I wrote to him:<br> Coach Brooks, I have always held you in high esteem as a coach and as a man. But it is your example as a father that I cherish most about our acquaintance. I will always remember looking down at your son Craig in his crib when I stayed in your home. I was overcome and lifted by the Holy Spirit. <br>You see, at this same time I also had a son who was just a baby in a crib. My son, Mark, was healthy. Steve s son was born without eyes or an esophagus. In addition, Craig s brain was not fully functional nor would it ever be normal. It was suggested that Craig be paced under institutional care where he wasn t expected to live very long. Some even hinted at just letting little Craig pass on. However, to Steve and his wife Carol, their son was special and God s gift to them. Craig would be raised at home and be greatly loved. I was filled with emotion and gratitude for two things: First, for my son being healthy and second, orSteve s wonderful example. <br>On the recommendations of r. Charley Howell, Craig went through several operations and survived. Recently, Coch Brooks gave me an update and sent me a photo of hi R ڎuU͑RX@;T*`0qޞ` f8>Ir2N9kwW: &atisy⮟3S3kgZZ3{yl同)$yKcSlv$cwpFuQ׼)ᶂk227{Xm#X ֵK+!a!vPv@̊ 뷧I3-92p2yٮ`HMUt]U5XI 7F7Ws*HLq$76Hz0g$M,%OZOa c8et#Wt.BJa vc鞽;WlW J* h5i+SPXdp%q7 &[ڜT  'B-n y/3J5>L`)'wt%iMu*.scyճQ;\Gɍ1⠓;~e9gFH.vHLi&Y {N#DE@NH(@nI @'S㶎P[[? ]QrexeްU$g€3 x6OyqI;w%Q&R[`B1Ձ?Ʉ{P̀HoV\Ui3b4iϠ dh&Nϩ-EǛ ᕏ?εۑs'ْ@s!ֱB?We(rAYCyÈUv#drZl r@?`YlSi9X`Nՠe$6j+e [ƉH)Sbqs:9Fmg{ Q<㩩|$1Lȁ%u?L@˞MZVKvi 1$~QW`x×y1궥|-p$TQf*ּmd6Km,(c>Vg$ߥu~58B%F8~$5f@P?ZXm"9a1ۯ[ 2oQAyr8Gj1ϧZ  ɫ@H821޹B-x@q񨡆S47 994h%RXaHXȭ) PQ1֞b[?>[FA%Ђ_X=O 2зeZVPP +8HڡY D0U+ȤUBrr dqEGe #p1BG,t' Ea(1ieces as a hail mary pass landed in the hands of the Hastings receiver. The extra point put the Raiders up by a single point, a margin good enough to give them the conference championship. Royal players and coaches were stunned by the loss, but what could have been the pin that popped the Royals championship balloon proved to be the enzyme to further the championship dream. <br>Some called the loss a reality check, but the Woodbury Royal players and coaches decided to use what is now referred to as the  first Hastings game as a point of refocusing.
