Week 9 (1-7) Waverly @ (7-1) Minford

[smurray]

Skye is out of surgery, alert and coherent. In need of much prayer for strength and healing. A tremendous show of support as around 60 people from Waverly made the trip to the hospital.

Prayers for the Waverly student body and the Szoke family.

Story was just on NBC News 4. The game is on and will be played in Beau's honor.

May God shower his blessing and grace on this community. Times like this let us know that there is much more important t things than a kids game. Prayers for our brothers and sisters. And a special prayer for that little girl.

On behalf of the Viking Nation, our prayers go out Allen and Martha. May his Little Man forever rest in peace, and may our Father in Heaven provide a quick recovery for Miss Skye.

Good job Minford, takin' care of business.

I wanna give prayers out to all of waverly. No community should go through that. Same thing happened to Minford back in 1997. I was in 8th grade, and it was very hard to go through. Good luck against Northwest next week.

[FarAwayFalcon]

Good win Minford.

Condolences to the Szoke family. Be sure to keep the Waverly Community and the Szoke family in your prayers.

Good win for Minford. They came out and took care of business tonight. The running game was strong and defensively Waverly had a hard time doing much but did bust a couple good runs. For what those young men from Waverly have been through this week I have respect for every one of them coming out tonight and playing hard all 4 quarters.

The after game ceremony that Minford and Waverly coaches, players and fans shared set a great tone. Instead of Minford doing their own team thing on the sideline after a win, I though it was great to share the moment with Waverly in prayer for the family and their lost loved one. It put into perspective how small the game of football is in the the grand scheme of life and how selfishly we sometimes take things for granted and make things priorities when they shouldnt be. Give your kids an extra hug and kiss tonight, as you just never know. That kind of loss is truly unimaginable.

Good luck next week against Northwest and I am sure there will be many prayers going up from Minford for the Szoke family during this difficult time.

So very proud of my boys....they showed such compassion and were very sportsman like....helping each other up and then hugging and praying with each other.....my heart brakes for the Szoke family and for the Waverly community........last night was a very touching night.....God Bless ALL of you!!!!!!!!!!

In what was the most difficult game to call on the radio in my tenure by a longshot, I can't help but mention the class that the Falcons showed Friday night. From the cheerleaders taking up a donation in Minford's stands for the Szoke family, the way in which the Falcons played aggressively but not boastful, to the red-carpet treatment we received in the pressbox, it was a true display of class by the Falcons. It made me very proud to be a member of the SOC.
