All Time Records:
For a little fun and to satisfy some curiosity, over the past several weeks we have been presenting our all time record against various opponents.

North Royalton - 1-0-1 - Here is a team that is back on our schedule for 2013.  The last time that we played them was in 2000. 

North Ridgeville - 2-0-0 - Another team that is back on the schedule for 2013.  We also played them last in 2000.  Hopefully, we can keep our winning ways against these two teams this year.

Once there, here are some selected examples of tweets over the past week.  Hope that you find something that inspires you here:

True champions aren't always the ones that win, but those with the most guts. -Mia Hamm (soccer)

Most people have the will to win, few have the will to prepare to win. -Bobby Knight

Winners make goals, losers make excuses.

Train like you are 2nd, but play like you are 1st...

A winner is someone who works to become a champion all the time, even when no one is watching.

Success isn't the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you're doing and you work hard you will be successful.
