Hey Steelers
What a great way to finish the season. We played our best game of the year. Our offensive line dominated the entire game and we were able to pound the ball up middle all day long. Our defense was awesome and shut down every thing they threw at us. We got our third shutout of the season. We really played a complete game and it was great to see everyone out there contributing and making plays. We even scored a safety on the final play of the year.
Guys, I'm really proud of the way we finished the season. We really came together as a team and finished off strong. Enjoy the Halloween Bowl victory and we'll see everyone at the end of the year party next Saturday.
Go Steelers!

Game Seven Recap
All I can say is Wow! What a great game. That was one of the most exciting game I’ve ever been a part of. All year, even in our losses, I’ve been saying how we never quit and we always played hard. Well guys, last night was a great example of that. Even when we fell behind with 1:30 left in the game, we never quit and we played hard until the end. And it paid off with a victory. I don’t think I’ve ever heard our sidelines so loud. It was great to hear.
This is a great example of why we keep saying that every play is important and every yard we gain is important. And even though we won an exciting game, we need to cleanup the penalties and turnovers. Those cost us a couple real good scoring chances.
Tonight is our last practice and we will be scrimmaging the Texans. Wear your jerseys to practice. And don’t forget we have the Halloween Bowl on Saturday. The boys need to be at the East field at 2:50pm.
Let’s finish the season strong!
Way to go Steelers!

Game six recap
Hey Steelers
I know we came up a little short on Saturday but I was proud of the way everyone hung in there and continued to fight. We were down by three scores and we fought back to make it a one score game. We had some momentum but just ran out of time.
Guys we only two games left in the season. We have this Saturday off and don't play again until Wednesday the 26th. We have three practices until then and I expect everyone who wants to play in the game to be at each of them.
We need to keep working hard at practice and in the games. I really believe we can finish the season strong.
Thanks again to all the cheerleaders for giving out goody bags to the players after the game. You girls do a great job.
Go Steelers

Game Five Recap
Hey Steelers
What a great day we had on Saturday. Not only did we play a really good game against the Falcons but we had an awesome tailgate party too. It was great to see the boys perform so well on the field. Our offense moved the ball up and down the field and our offensive line really open up some big holes for our backs. Our defense played aggressively and forced a bunch of turnovers and made some big stops. We moved some of the boys around for this game and it was nice to see them play so well in their new positions. Every player on the field contributed to win and that was great to see.
And what a great tailgate party we had after the game. I want to thank Rosa and Dave for all the hard work they did setting up the party and Coach Sean for supplying the hotdogs. I also want to thank everyone else who helped make this tailgate such a big success. It looked like everyone had a lot of fun.
I also want to give a special mention to our cheerleaders. They do a great job cheering for us during the games and yesterday after the game they presented the players with Crunch bars for crunching the Falcons. Thanks for all your support girls.
And again, Coach John took some great pictures. You can see them on our Snapfish page.
Great job everybody.

Game four recap
Hey Steelers
I know we came up short in our game against the Eagles on Saturday, but there is no reason for anyone to hang their heads. We came into the game shorthanded and had a couple of injuries during the game. By time the game ended we only had 14 guys that were able to get on the field. You guys played hard the whole game and I know a lot of you were on the field for most of the game. We had a lot of guys playing in positions that they had not played before and in the end we just ran out of gas.
We saw some good things during the game and some things that we still need to work on. Come to practice on Tuesday ready to work. and don't be surprised if we start working different people in at different positions.
Also, Coach John took some great pictures at the game. You can see them on our Snapfish page.
