Congratulations to the Gilmer Buckeyes for all the thrills and excitement you’ve given us this season. It was truly awesome!
We know it must be disappointing to have come up short in Waco on Saturday against the Liberty Hill Panthers (to whom we also extend kudos), but remember that you accomplished what only a handful of football teams in Texas did.
And that is to still be playing, not only in December, but in the middle of December.
A school is the heart and soul of any small community such as ours. The spirit our Gilmer Independent School District expresses for us, not only in football, but in numerous other activities on campus and in the community, keeps us all young at heart and inspired in our souls. And this is true of the other school districts of our area as well.
Many of us in this community are also graduates of your school. We, too, were raised as Buckeyes. Very few of us ever experienced the “glory days” you have. We are in awe. The memories you have created for us, to put it in the words of our school song, “will live forever.”
None will be any more inspiring than the class, character, poise and maturity you displayed after the game in Mesquite on the night of Saturday, Dec. 1. It was awe-inspiring, as a matter of fact.
Merry Christmas to all Gilmer Buckeyes in every field of endeavor, both on and off the gridiron. Peace and love to all.
