Then listen in on what he told the seniors as he huddled with them in the far end zone away from awaiting fans. He asked the seniors to hold hands, took a knee in front of them and said he would never forget this group of seniors. He said the team just went 10-0, but they are now 0-0 as they head into the post season."I love each and every one of you. I've got your back because I know for a fact, you've got mine."
In the senior huddle, Principal Chris Kloesz said, "We love you. We are proud of you. You're Tigers."
The senior "Band of Brothers" then spread across the field and walked the 100-yards to the other goal post holding hands, past the parents who had formed two lines to cheer for their sons.
Also, Athletic Director, Julie Renner talks about the team and what it is like to be in her first few months on the job and seeing a team with such success.
Assistant Athletic Director, Kevin Taylor is also interviewed along with Wayne Achterman who was an assistant coach the last time the Tigers went un-defeated. Taylor sorts out some of the history of undefeated seasons and playoff appearances of Loveland teams.
