ONE TOWN. TWO SIDELINES. ONE VOICE. 🇺🇸
Friday night didn’t end the way we wanted it to. Glacier Peak came ready to play, they earned the win, and we congratulate them.
Raising the Standard means being honest about our performance, too. We didn’t get the result we came for. We own that. We’ll learn from it and we’ll get back to work.
And that can be true while something else is true, too.
👉🏻 Friday night was bigger than the final score.
Before the coin toss. Before kickoff. Before two teams took opposite sidelines, Veterans Memorial Stadium came together.
The stadium was filled beyond capacity. Red on one side. Blue on the other. People filled the grass and stood wherever they could find room.
Two football programs. Two bands. Two student sections. Players, coaches, cheerleaders, alumni, families, veterans and generations of this community.
And on the 25th anniversary of September 11, both bands began to play our National Anthem.
And then Veterans Memorial Stadium sang.
Thousands of voices. Together.
When the final note faded, that same stadium fell silent to remember.
Before we were opponents, we were neighbors.
ONE TOWN.
TWO SIDELINES.
ONE VOICE.
Then the whistle blew, and the rivalry was every bit as real as we promised it would be.
So is the result. Glacier Peak earned this one.
And so is our standard, our work ethic, our heart.
❤️🤍💙
