Spring is coming...

Behind the scenes, we are starting to make progress towards the spring season. The schedule is just about set and it looks like it should be an exciting spring season as we return to Iowa and gear up for our Founders' Cup rematch with Catholic Memorial. We have a large group of departing seniors so hopefully we will go out with a bang... bringing home the Cup and building a great new core of players for the Fall!

I have to say that I was impressed and inspired during the Catholic Memorial game when our team pulled together, chanted our motto, and pressed ahead until they finally scored. That is just the kind of spirit that can move a team forward. I was reminded of that moment when I went to see some rugby in Wales over the Christmas break. Every time the Scarlets scored the stadium burst out in song, singing the refrain to Yma O Hyd (this is a link to the YouTube Song). The refrain means:

Chorus:

Ry'n ni yma o hyd (We're still here )

Ry'n ni yma o hyd (We're still here)

Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth (Despite everything)

Er gwaetha pawb a phopeth (Despite everything)

Ry'n ni yma o hyd. (We're still here)

It was a completely inspirational. Perhaps we need a fight song?
