As I am getting ready to leave to watch my son play in perhaps his last football game, I felt I needed to respond to this. I understand what you are trying to say in terms of talent, but since I have had another son and several nephews play on previous and more successful DSJ teams, I just have to respond to this. This Blue Jay team is just as much a DSJ team as previous ones. They work just as hard - and perhaps harder, than previous teams. They have built a comradery with their teammates (from Kindergarten through high school) just like previous teams. In fact, their comradery may be stronger as they have developed skills in offering encouragement and not giving up when the chips are down. They are well disciplined and receive excellent guidance from the coaches and on more than just football. Speaking on behalf of the parents, I can assure you we are just as proud of our sons as previous DSJ parents. And when they graduate and move on in life, they will have the benefit of playing a team sport just like prvious DSJ teams, which will assist them to live their lives as responsible, successful husbands, fathers and men.

So good luck to both teams tonight. Play hard, stay safe and have fun!

Go Jays!

That's one of the best statements I've seen on here. I know where you're coming from. Best wishes for your kids.

Great win for Arlington who finally toppled DSJ.......Great season for the Jays who could have quit early, but hung in there as a team and earned everyone's respect.....it's easy to go through a season when everything is going your way....this past season was a valuable lesson on LIFE, and this Jays team succeeds in flying colors....

As for Arlington....big win last night and keep it going....you were definitely the best team on the field....congrats to Atown and its fans....enjoy the tourney!!!!!!
