There was no trash talking, no cheap shots, no finger pointing just two well-coached hard-hitting teams having fun. What a great game to watch! When time ran out, the score was Southridge Spartans-20 and Massillon Tigers-7, what a great feeling! Our kids had played hard, with consistency and came out the victors this night.<br>After the game, the players and coaches exchanged gifts as they shook hands and then joined hands at mid-field to form a F.C.A. prayer circle at give thanks for the honor to be part of this great competitive experience. The night was concluded with the taking of a panoramic picture of these two Upper Limit teams. This picture will be just a small memory of an  Experience of a Lifetime for all.<br>When we got back to the hotel the players and fans had another treat. Steve Everitt, #1 draft pick of the Cleveland Browns and a Southridge graduate, was there to sign autographs and to talk to the players and fans from both schools. It was an honor to listen to the kids and to Steve compare war stories about their experiences as Spartan football players preparing for the game of life. Steve Everitt truly defines what it takes to become an Upper Limit athlete and person. Thanks, Steve, for all your help and support, and most of all for being you, a professional football player, that young players can look up to and by your example better understand that, when  Correct Hard Work Becomes Fun , success will follow.<br>That Sunday morning, as we were getting on the plane, I asked some of our seniors (who had played 38 Varsity football games) what they thought of the Tigers. They told me the Massillion players were the strongest team they have played and they also felt one of the hardest hitting teams they have ever played. These comments insured me that football can be played without trash talk and finger pointing, and that it can be played violently and aggressively, with discipline and spirit and still be fun. Thank you Massillon Tiger Football Family, for inviting me and the Southridge Spartan <br>Football Family to be a part of this  Experience of a Lifetime. <br>till continues for the Colby High Football Team as well as for their number one fan, Melissa. Even though the football season has ended, Melissa s friendship with the players continues as they work toward a very welcome future.<br><br>______________________<br><br><br>One of our biggest fans this year was an eighth grade girl named Melissa. She is confined to a wheel chair as she is recuperating from a major illness. At a pep assembly during homecoming week, the seniors presented Melissa with a Colby Hornet Football sweatshirt and football, both of which were signed by all the members of the team. A very special bond formed between the team and Melissa. I think we drew a great deal of inspiration from her and she from us as we progressed through the season. Sh
