KSS football program a huge success

DEAR EDITOR:

Re: Level up: Owls on the rise, page B1, Jan. 28.

Hats off to Head Coach Chris Cartwright and all the Kelowna Secondary School football coaches, who support, and taught these young players and those like them, who have developed the skills, talent and tenacity to succeed, both on the field and in the classroom.

High school is a big step up from Kelowna Minor Football and the leadership and program Cartwright developed and expanded with all the coaches, is making a huge change in experience and of opportunity for these players, and those who will hopefully continue at KSS, until they graduate.

Nothing ever just happens; it takes a lot of effort, to set up, believe and follow through a “tough” program, when there are so many easier options to follow, if you don’t have the right leadership.

Having this many players, from a single school, graduate, and take the next big step in their development is no accident; it is a net result, of respect, hard work, sweat, and a positive mental attitude..

Congratulations to you all

Chuck Liebrock, Kelowna
