2024 Offense Staff
Last Friday, the E.D. White Cardinals competed in the Division II Select State Championship Prep Classic at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana
While we came up just three points short, the experience was nothing short of incredible for our players, coaches, and community.
This season wasn’t defined by the final score but by the journey we shared. Our seniors led with heart and accountability, while underclassmen stepped up to prove that the future is bright. Together, we embraced the mindset that fatigue and exhaustion are mental hurdles to overcome, with our mantra carrying us through:
"The longer we go, the stronger we get."
As the playoffs arrived, our team leaned into this philosophy. In moments when practices were grueling, or bodies felt worn down, the belief that we were growing stronger fueled us. This mentality culminated in a playoff performance full of grit, resilience, and unity.
One quote inspired us throughout the postseason:
"Great players don’t get tired. Great players wait for good players to get tired and then they kick their butt."
— UConn Women’s Basketball Head Coach Geno Auriemma
We aimed to peak at the right time, not in the middle of the season but when it mattered most—week 15. While the ultimate goal may have eluded us, the memories forged on this journey will last a lifetime.
As coaches, players, and supporters of this team, we’ll always cherish being part of the 2024 E.D. White Cardinal football season.
Closing Thought:
To our players: never forget the fight you showed and the bond you built this season. These lessons—about perseverance, teamwork, and pushing through limits—will carry you far beyond the football field.
