Mustang Nation,

As the head coach of Team100, I am experiencing many conflicting emotions as our season has come to an end. 

I am sad. Sad that we will never have this same group of players in the locker room together again.

I am proud. Proud of the perseverance our team showed all year and the fight we competed with.

I am thankful. Thankful to have been on this journey together with all of our incredible parents.

I am excited. Excited for what the future holds for our seniors and their future endeavors as well as our underclassmen and their preparation for Team101.

Coach Mike Alexander

As we move into off-season pick up for the rest of the semester will be at 4:15pm.

Thank you for supporting your son in so many ways this season.  Our team cannot reach its full potential without your encouragement and support.  If you have any questions contact Coach Dillard via email, joshua.dillard@gcisd.net.

Coach Dillard

Dear Parents,

This weekend brings a heavy heart in Mustang Nation.

I know I thank you for letting me take care of your boys every week, but with the end of season I want to express my true gratitude.

I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your boys grow and mature every week. They bring me large smiles and great joy.  The legacy these seniors have left will be large shoes to fill. I have no doubt that Team 101 will fulfill and create their own.

Many of us will move on to other sports now. If you are, or just around, please always feel free to come hug me. I love seeing y’all at events. Also, please know your kiddos are more than welcome in the athletic training room should they need anything. My new hours will be Monday- Friday 730-530. 

Thank you for an unforgettable season.

Always proud to be a Mustang,
Tiffany

MUSTANG NATION!!

We are looking forward to continuing the Breakfast With Champions tradition with VARSITY TEAM 100 and ALL DAD'S and MEN OF MUSTANG NATION.   It's a special time to share a morning meal, be inspired by our very own Coach Alexander and a special one-of-a-kind keynote speaker, as they address TEAM 100. 

This week our speaker is Kenny Cain a former All-Big 12 middle linebacker at TCU.  He led the team in tackles for 2 years and was a key member on TCU’s Rose Bowl winning team. 

This leads to a special moment when all the dad's and men of Mustang Nation has the opportunity to shake hands with each player, look in their eyes and share words of encouragement and wisdom for the game ahead.

Breakfast of Champions is a moment you will not want to miss that only comes around during football season. Take advantage of these special mornings to inspire and be inspired, to encourage and be encouraged or just to be quiet and reflect on the minute, hour, day, month, year that is before all of us.  

As BOC is for the Varsity Team your son does not have to be a Varsity player for DAD'S to attend. 

See you Friday!
