This right here is why this guy is in the NFL. Most high school kids would’ve jogged after getting rocked like this and begged for a flag. Take note. It’s cool playing with relentless effort.

I’d give up a lot to have one more night of Friday Night High School football. One more game as a player. Was the best. Still is the best.

Elizabethton Cyclone Hall of Fame…long time over due…PROUD of this guy #28 Ethan Thomas! What a STUD RB for us & even better person! The characteristics go above & beyond! It’s been almost a decade & a couple weeks ago I had to break out film to show this years team!

“It’s about a team and a commitment to being great together,” Tom Brady When talent unites and character leads you transform individual talent into collective greatness.

🏈 Happy Friday Night Lights day

“There’s nothing more important for our guys than being a good teammate. Every player has an opportunity to help our team by being a better teammate than they’ve been in the past. That’s how they give to their effort, learning, and what they give to their teammates,” Pete Carroll

Great coaches don’t just build plays—they build people. And great players? They don’t want it easier. They want to be coached hard. They want truth. They want to be pushed to the standard—every single day. That’s how winning programs are built.

You don’t need a starting spot to work like a starter. You don’t need a guarantee to give max effort. Attitude and effort—those are always in your control. Bring it every day. Earn everything. That’s how champions are built.

This STUD has worked so hard to prove he belongs. Let’s go @ParkerHughes_7 & MTSU Football. Sometimes all you have to do is believe in urself 🏈🔥🧡. Love u STUD #gobegreat

My nephew CJ started summer workouts at Rice! Let’s go CJ!! 🏈

Sadden by the passing of Ms. Gloria Hall. I always believed she would live forever. She was so much more than just an employee at Elizabethton HS. She worked “decades” along with many thankless, timeless days. Our halls-school will never be the same! You will never be forgotten!

“I don’t play for the individual stuff. I don’t play for anything else besides winning.” Winning is a mindset. Winning is a habit. Winning is a commitment. Winning is a lifestyle. Winning is the difference between dreams and reality.
