As a teaser to the coming stories from the Major Teams’ season opener, I am sharing this video of Chaplain Derrick Moore from Georgia Tech. This pre-game moment from Georgia Tech VS Notre Dame in 2007, was evoked today in the Argos Major 2 Columbia VS. N.W. Hurricanes game by Coach Jason. I first heard Coach J share the speech when he discovered it and shared it with his freshman players at Saguaro High school last fall. It is only now that i have heard the whole thing and felt it was worth a share to all Argo Fans. In it Moore shares with his players a rousing fighting speech, that came, “In the words of my middle school coach…”
Today, when the young Majors Team 2 were facing strong seasoned competitors, facing an uphill battle and clearly struggling with a premature sense of defeat at Half time, it is the spirit of these inspirational words that empowered the boys to hold strong and steady in the second half with a narrow defeat to the Hurricane forces, 6-8.
