Week 6 – Loyalty

Some games mean more. This is one of them.

We remember how last year’s matchup ended. We remember the sting. But more importantly, we remember what came after—how our seniors responded, how our team pulled tighter, how we turned pain into purpose. That response was Loyalty in action.

Loyalty is showing up for the guy next to you—not just when it’s easy, but when it’s hard. It’s trusting your teammates, protecting the mission, and putting the brotherhood before yourself. Loyalty isn’t just what we say—it’s how we practice, how we play, and how we fight.

It’s how we hold each other accountable. How we show up early. How we clean up without being asked. How we run scout team with purpose. How we defend our culture on and off the field. Loyalty is lived, not worn.

This week is about more than revenge. It’s about redemption through discipline, unity, and pride. We don’t need bulletin board material. We have something stronger: a bond worth defending.

So we play this game with loyalty in our chest and fire in our bones. We honor the players who came before us by the way we respond now.

Because this team matters.

And this one means something.
