Tomorrow

Tomorrow you will take the field against a worthy adversary. A team Sodium has never beat. A big, physical team that will come at you all game long. Tomorrow our defense will be called upon to elevate their game to untold levels. Our mids will have the battle of their careers and the forwards will be asked to give everything they have. Tomorrow lady warriors, will be a war.
The OR Rush team will be coming to our house, the 'House of Pain' for many teams, and tomorrow, they will join the ranks.
This is a game that needs no introductions. You know what to do. Motivation will be the key. You will need to look across field 5 and see RED. They are coming into our house to take this game away from us on the same field we won the State Championship. If that doesn't get you motivated, get your blood boiling, make you mad as heck, then I don't know what will. Tomorrow will be a huge test of our will to win. This OR Rush team has never stepped foot on the field with the New Sodium team, and they're in for a rude awakening. If ever a league game will be watched, it's this one. Everyone will be waiting to hear the outcome. This game will set the precedence for the rest of league play. A win will establish Sodium as a contender, a position we know well, and OR Rush as a beatable team.
Tomorrow you will be called upon to dig deep, to bring out the passion you have for the game, for your team. Tomorrow you will elevate your play to the level of true champions. Like the scene when the Spartans [300] were facing the army of the Immortals [thousands]. They were smaller, fewer in numbers but they had heart, anger, the will to win and a never give up attitude. The same attributes I've seen played out by this team time and time again.
Tomorrow you will asked to give 100% for 60 minutes. To leave everything you have on the field, to be a hero. You will have 10 others on the field who will have your back. The time is now to cut loose, to take it to the limits. I know you can do it, I've seen it many times before.

Tomorrow, as you walk on the field of battle, ask yourself, "Who will be the hero?" Every game has one.

As I write this the song, "Fear of the Dark" just came on. How appropriate.

If it is to be, it's up to me
