Journey’s “Only the Young” plays as Louden Swain runs across multiple bridges spanning the Spokane River during the opening credits of VISION QUEST.

As a former history teacher and a child at then end of Vietnam….im not sure there’s a lyrically impactful song more than Billy Joel’s Goodnight Saigon. 90’s degrees on my pre-practice walk and I’m in chills

Care drives everything.
Players don’t care what you know
until they know you care.
Build the person - not just the player.
Demand and coach hard - but show you care.
If you care, they will care.

Please see the information regarding the Celebration of Life for Coach Poelker that we will be hosting on April 25th. We hope that anyone who played for Coach CP will come and share the memories that he has imparted on all of us.
What a fun season coaching this team. Finished the year with a 12-0 victory over Rockford today at Il Benedictine. Appreciate all the time the staff put into teaching and coaching in this inaugural season!!!
