I just wanted to take this time and thank you all for the wonderful season that we have had.  This recognition is a representation of the hard work and time that each and every one of you put into our field show.  For you who put your heart into your performances you understand that no amount of awards can measure the true appreciation of your actions.  That coming off that field with your head high and toes to the sky tells you all you need to know about your worth and your reward. 
    Seniors, I hope that you have all become better people and that the work ethic that you have formed will carry on into greater feats of life.  I love you all and wish you only the best in everything you do from here on.  To everyone else, hold on and get ready for the ride of your lives because South is just getting started!

                                          Love,
                                               Ryan
