YOU NEVER START YOUR DANCIN TILL THE GAMES ALL DONE
By Greg Shepard
Published: Spring 1999

Remember the Kenny Rogers song about the gambler? He sings, you never count your money til the dealins done. The same rule applies to athletics, especially football. You never start your dancin til the games all done.
I saw three games last Fall where players lost focus and where discipline broke down toward the end of the game. Dancin too early caused some very sad results.
The first example occurred in a semi-final high school playoff game. One team was undefeated and ranked number one in the state. Late in the game, they scored and the running back decided it was time to dance in the end zone. The officials promptly threw the flag. The extra point was no good because the kicker had an extra 15 yards. Their 8-point lead should have been 9-points. That difference is huge. Nine points means the other team must score twice. The other team scored in the last second and made their two-point conversion. This undefeated team then lost in double overt,,@0 u''#A(; these reachable standards. If everyone will doatsEu + never you get the community involved with the school and the kids believing in themselves, that s when learning is best. That s when good things happen.  Ex<;E
