Welcome Back

First of all, a new video has been released.



The first day of school is just around the corner and the athletes of Holly Pond are preparing for their upcoming seasons; before classes even begin. The long, dog days of Alabama heat will endure for at least a few more weeks; but that won’t stop the fall sports season from beginning. The Bronco Blog began last fall and really didn’t start soon enough to effectively cover football and volleyball, but now as a new sports season gets underway; expectations are sure to rise as the Bronco Blog leads you right up to football, volleyball, and the cross country seasons.

Like every year, expectations have become the norm. New sports facilities like the long-awaited softball field could come this year. The football team could finally win a playoff game. Heck, we could win a state championship this year. (I said COULD). But above the expectations we set; success may not come in a score or a record. Expectations may not be met at a championship game in Birmingham. Success may happen on the practice field on a hot afternoon, or in the gym when only a few see it. Success may come in sweat, tears, and hours. Success may just be seen by a coach. To me, success is not measured by a victory; it is measured by your desire and heart in practice; by your dedication to the team, by your pride and love of this school.

While most fans honor the triumphant moments in sports; I hope some will now realize that those moments don’t always come on Friday nights or before home crowds. This group of Broncos could be victorious; but hopefully they’ll be successful. It’ll be my honor to bring you their stories in the coming year.

One final note: In the week ahead, The Bronco Blog's Coach's Corner Interviews will be released. Coach Steve Miller will be first on Tuesday.
