A Winning Season

You don't have to win your games to get a win for the entire season.

The Cuyahoga Falls Black Tiger football season is officially over. It ended Friday the 28th in an away match-up with Twinsburg. The Black Tigers ended the 2016 season with an overall record of 1-9. Though this may not seem impressive, a lot of impressive events occurred over the span of this one season.

Starting off the season in July, the football team, cheerleading squad, and the marching band started to work hard during practice to make the best of the upcoming season. After winning our first game, the football team went on to lose the remaining games. But there was a difference.

The football team became closer than what they have been in the past. They never gave up on the field. They tried their best. And they persevered until the final second turned to zero.

The cheerleading squad continued to cheer on the team. They continued to do their best at everything they do, especially by pumping up the student section.

The marching band continued to perform at their best and highest level. They were voted the Best Marching Band in Northeast Ohio. They supported the football team no matter what the circumstances were.

The student section continued to show up and support their teams. They did not care what the final score was, they cared about each other because we are one Black Tiger Family.

It turned out to be a great season for the Black Tigers. We lost a few games but we won so many times. Not necessarily in the game, but in friendships and bonding, support, fun times, and so much more.

Cuyahoga Falls should be proud to be a Black Tiger. We can't just let ourselves drop down to such a low level that we think we can't do it anymore. We have to come back stronger than ever next year and be prepared to fight. We are the Black Tigers and we will come back stronger than ever before.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
