ECHS Football Family,
It has been an amazing season full of life long memories and experiences! I am grateful for each and everyone our athletes, coaches, and all our amazing families! As we start to wrap up our 2023 season we have our mandatory Team Meeting tomorrow at 3:00pm. We will collect all gear, equipment, and uniforms.

In closing, I would like to share one of my favorite poems by George Moriarty.
The Road Ahead, The Road Behind
Sometimes I think the fates must grin as we denounce them and insist,
The only reason we can not win is the fates themselves have missed.
Yet, there lives on the ancient claim – we win or lose within ourselves,
The shining trophies on our shelves can never win tomorrow’s game.
So you and I know deeper down there is a chance to win the crown,
But when we fail to give our best, we simply haven’t met the test
Of giving all and saving none until the game is really won.
Of showing what is meant by grit, of fighting on when others quit,
Of playing through not letting up, it’s bearing down that wins the cup.
Of taking it and taking more until we gain the winning score,
Of dreaming there’s a goal ahead, of hoping when our dreams are dead,
Of praying when our hopes have fled. Yet, losing, not afraid to fall,
If bravely we have given all, for who can ask more of a man
than giving all, it seems to me, is not so far from – Victory.
And so the fates are seldom wrong, no matter how they twist and wind,
It’s you and I who make our fates, we open up or close the gates,
On the Road Ahead or the Road Behind.
Blessings to you all!
Coach Goodman
Snow Ball Bash - 2023
We have a very unique opportunity this winter season. We love to partner with local organizations to bring hope during this holiday season. This year we are partnering with San Diego County Foster Care. Our desire is to see 500 foster youth given a toy this holiday season. Would you join the team and send in 1 or 2 or more unwrapped toys so that every child has an opportunity to receive a gift this Christmas season. Toys are due to my classroom by December 8th.
Thank you for bringing a brighter day to those needing in their darkest hours.
