THANK YOU WOLF PACK NATION
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported the Black Hills High School football team this
year Not only was the success of the team unprecedented (league champions and 11-1 overall) so was the support
from the students cheerleaders staff parents and community I cannot recall a more vocal dynamic or enthusiastic
Black Hills crowd than the one cheering the team on in the fourth quarter of the Pioneer Bowl this year It was an
amazing experience hearing the crowd cheer themselves hoarse as we won the trophy for the first time since 2009
The dedication hard work and sacrifices by the players and coaching staff all seemed worthwhile in that moment The
great thing about this incredible support it was not a singular moment The Wolf Pack nation traveled well all season
out-numbering the home fans at Chief Sealth and Rochester while matching the enthusiasm of the larger crowds at
Prairie and Aberdeen The enthusiasm did not wane in the crossover win against Columbia River or our first-ever state
playoff win against Burlington-Edison the atmosphere in both games was electric Most importantly I appreciate the
support you showed the team after our hard-fought loss to Fife These young men gave everything they had in the
game and many felt like they had let their friends families and coaches down The scene on the field post-game is
why I am proud to be a part of Black Hills High School and why I have been committed to
this school community and program for twenty-two years The overwhelming love and
encouragement showed by the crowd is what makes this a special place The fans not only
remained until the very end they mobbed the field celebrating everything that these young
men had accomplished in this incredible season I hope that the incredible support and
enthusiasm from the Wolf Pack Nation carries over to the winter and spring sports Again
thank you for the support you gave this team Wolf Strong Pack Stronger ndash Coach Stevens

THANK YOU WOLF PACK NATION
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported the Black Hills High School football team this
year Not only was the success of the team unprecedented (league champions and 11-1 overall) so was the support
from the students cheerleaders staff parents and community I cannot recall a more vocal dynamic or enthusiastic
Black Hills crowd than the one cheering the team on in the fourth quarter of the Pioneer Bowl this year It was an
amazing experience hearing the crowd cheer themselves hoarse as we won the trophy for the first time since 2009
The dedication hard work and sacrifices by the players and coaching staff all seemed worthwhile in that moment The
great thing about this incredible support it was not a singular moment The Wolf Pack nation traveled well all season
out-numbering the home fans at Chief Sealth and Rochester while matching the enthusiasm of the larger crowds at
Prairie and Aberdeen The enthusiasm did not wane in the crossover win against Columbia River or our first-ever state
playoff win against Burlington-Edison the atmosphere in both games was electric Most importantly I appreciate the
support you showed the team after our hard-fought loss to Fife These young men gave everything they had in the
game and many felt like they had let their friends families and coaches down The scene on the field post-game is
why I am proud to be a part of Black Hills High School and why I have been committed to
this school community and program for twenty-two years The overwhelming love and
encouragement showed by the crowd is what makes this a special place The fans not only
remained until the very end they mobbed the field celebrating everything that these young
men had accomplished in this incredible season I hope that the incredible support and
enthusiasm from the Wolf Pack Nation carries over to the winter and spring sports Again
thank you for the support you gave this team Wolf Strong Pack Stronger ndash Coach Stevens

THANK YOU WOLF PACK NATION
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported the Black Hills High School football team this
year Not only was the success of the team unprecedented (league champions and 11-1 overall) so was the support
from the students cheerleaders staff parents and community I cannot recall a more vocal dynamic or enthusiastic
Black Hills crowd than the one cheering the team on in the fourth quarter of the Pioneer Bowl this year It was an
amazing experience hearing the crowd cheer themselves hoarse as we won the trophy for the first time since 2009
The dedication hard work and sacrifices by the players and coaching staff all seemed worthwhile in that moment The
great thing about this incredible support it was not a singular moment The Wolf Pack nation traveled well all season
out-numbering the home fans at Chief Sealth and Rochester while matching the enthusiasm of the larger crowds at
Prairie and Aberdeen The enthusiasm did not wane in the crossover win against Columbia River or our first-ever state
playoff win against Burlington-Edison the atmosphere in both games was electric Most importantly I appreciate the
support you showed the team after our hard-fought loss to Fife These young men gave everything they had in the
game and many felt like they had let their friends families and coaches down The scene on the field post-game is
why I am proud to be a part of Black Hills High School and why I have been committed to
this school community and program for twenty-two years The overwhelming love and
encouragement showed by the crowd is what makes this a special place The fans not only
remained until the very end they mobbed the field celebrating everything that these young
men had accomplished in this incredible season I hope that the incredible support and
enthusiasm from the Wolf Pack Nation carries over to the winter and spring sports Again
thank you for the support you gave this team Wolf Strong Pack Stronger ndash Coach Stevens

THANK YOU WOLF PACK NATION
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported the Black Hills High School football team this
year Not only was the success of the team unprecedented (league champions and 11-1 overall) so was the support
from the students cheerleaders staff parents and community I cannot recall a more vocal dynamic or enthusiastic
Black Hills crowd than the one cheering the team on in the fourth quarter of the Pioneer Bowl this year It was an
amazing experience hearing the crowd cheer themselves hoarse as we won the trophy for the first time since 2009
The dedication hard work and sacrifices by the players and coaching staff all seemed worthwhile in that moment The
great thing about this incredible support it was not a singular moment The Wolf Pack nation traveled well all season
out-numbering the home fans at Chief Sealth and Rochester while matching the enthusiasm of the larger crowds at
Prairie and Aberdeen The enthusiasm did not wane in the crossover win against Columbia River or our first-ever state
playoff win against Burlington-Edison the atmosphere in both games was electric Most importantly I appreciate the
support you showed the team after our hard-fought loss to Fife These young men gave everything they had in the
game and many felt like they had let their friends families and coaches down The scene on the field post-game is
why I am proud to be a part of Black Hills High School and why I have been committed to
this school community and program for twenty-two years The overwhelming love and
encouragement showed by the crowd is what makes this a special place The fans not only
remained until the very end they mobbed the field celebrating everything that these young
men had accomplished in this incredible season I hope that the incredible support and
enthusiasm from the Wolf Pack Nation carries over to the winter and spring sports Again
thank you for the support you gave this team Wolf Strong Pack Stronger ndash Coach Stevens

THANK YOU WOLF PACK NATION
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who supported the Black Hills High School football team this
year Not only was the success of the team unprecedented (league champions and 11-1 overall) so was the support
from the students cheerleaders staff parents and community I cannot recall a more vocal dynamic or enthusiastic
Black Hills crowd than the one cheering the team on in the fourth quarter of the Pioneer Bowl this year It was an
amazing experience hearing the crowd cheer themselves hoarse as we won the trophy for the first time since 2009
The dedication hard work and sacrifices by the players and coaching staff all seemed worthwhile in that moment The
great thing about this incredible support it was not a singular moment The Wolf Pack nation traveled well all season
out-numbering the home fans at Chief Sealth and Rochester while matching the enthusiasm of the larger crowds at
Prairie and Aberdeen The enthusiasm did not wane in the crossover win against Columbia River or our first-ever state
playoff win against Burlington-Edison the atmosphere in both games was electric Most importantly I appreciate the
support you showed the team after our hard-fought loss to Fife These young men gave everything they had in the
game and many felt like they had let their friends families and coaches down The scene on the field post-game is
why I am proud to be a part of Black Hills High School and why I have been committed to
this school community and program for twenty-two years The overwhelming love and
encouragement showed by the crowd is what makes this a special place The fans not only
remained until the very end they mobbed the field celebrating everything that these young
men had accomplished in this incredible season I hope that the incredible support and
enthusiasm from the Wolf Pack Nation carries over to the winter and spring sports Again
thank you for the support you gave this team Wolf Strong Pack Stronger ndash Coach Stevens
