Enjoyed the football banquet today. Such a bittersweet time. I LOVE this banquet because Coach Curtis makes it so personable and makes sure he speaks about each player individually. Really a great testament to the kind of coach he is. It doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as he gets in what he has to say and that is important to him. Tyler received honors for Captain, All NIC team,
All State according to AP (and Dream Team - Tyler and Michael Curtis) and
All State according to the Indiana Football Coaches Association.
Great honors for him and the team. And when it was time to talk about Tyler, Coach Curtis summed it up perfectly the kind of person and player Tyler is. He knows him well. He said "whatever position I put Tyler at he would be the best within 2 weeks," "Tyler has natural ability, football savvy," "He is a huge competitor" and has "balance and awareness." Coach also said he watched the first Penn game back and noticed Tyler had 8 solo tackles in the first period alone and he has never seen that before. Even goes on to say Tyler is one of the best football players has coached and has been "a joy" to coach this year. We have been honored to have been a part of the Mishawaka Football Team under Coach Curtis. He is a wonderful man, father and coach. We will definitely miss being a part of Mishawaka Football. So glad my parents and Ben's dad were able to attend. This is something we will all remember for years to come. Definitely good memories.
