ECHS Football Family,
We are back! Players I can not wait to be back on the field with you all for our two weeks of Spring Football starting Monday May 8th. As a reminder, all players must arrive on time (3:15pm) and be dressed in their spring football uniform.

Incoming 9th graders (Current 8th Graders). we look forward to having you all with us on June 12th.

In closing, Watching the NFL draft recently I was reminded of a Running Back from UCLA by the name of Derrick Coleman who was not drafted. Derrick was legally deaf and from a young age decided that his disability would not translate into an excuse. He not only starred in a Duracell Commercial, he also went on to win a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks as his team demolished the Denver Broncos 43-8. As amazing as Derrick’s story is about perseverance and grit what is more amazing is the sound of compassion and empathy he displayed to two young fans who could relate to his journey. Riley and Erin Kovalcik are 9 year twins who also are legally deaf and found hope in Derrick’s journey. Watch this clip as the twins discuss how they found hope in Derrick’s story of determination.

Let’s look and listen for our opportunities to bring empathy and hope to those needing a brighter day in perhaps their darkest hour of need.

Play as One!
Coach Goodman
