Our group that got up EARLY and attended the Marion County FCA Breakfast! #patfam

Two Ws for @cfpatssb on opening day 6-5 and 11-7 to start the 2026 season 2-0. Setting the tone. #RollPats #CFSoftball

Something that we’ve really worked hard for is to get an upgraded locker room for our players. When we got here in August we had the old red metal lockers and today after two months of renovations our players got to finally see the new digs and some near gear. #patfam

FREEDOM RINGS: 104-year-old World War II veteran Dominick Critelli, who fought at Normandy and in the Battle of the Bulge, wowed the crowd by performing the National Anthem on his saxophone at a New York Islanders game. Critelli, a staff sergeant who immigrated to the U.S. from Italy when he was a child, spent 151 days in combat during World War II, earning three Bronze Stars.

Romans 8:28

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! "Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms." (Psalm 95:2)

He’s 100 years old. He fought in a war that most of us today can barely imagine. He saw his friends, many just boys, go off to fight and never return. He’s carried those memories for a lifetime. And recently, on live television, he broke down and asked a question no veteran should ever have to ask, “Was it worth it” When the men who sacrificed everything for freedom now look at the state of their country and wonder if that sacrifice still matters, it should make all of us stop and think. Remembrance isn’t just a poppy on a lapel or a minute of silence once a year. It’s a responsibility, to honour their legacy by protecting the values and freedoms they fought for. Our culture. Our freedoms. Our sense of community and national identity. If we stop respecting those things, if tradition loses meaning, if honour and pride are dismissed as outdated, then we risk forgetting what they stood for. We don’t honour the fallen by remembering them once a year, we honour them by living in a way that keeps their sacrifices meaningful. By standing up for our country, our values, and our way of life. He wasn’t crying out of weakness. He was crying because he remembers the cost of forgetting.

We had the best time reading to the students at College Park Elementary! @cfpatssb #patfam #rollpats

GET THE RIGHT GUYS ON THE BUS! "Mediocre people don’t like high achievers and high achievers don’t like mediocre people ... Get the right guys on the bus, get them in the right seats, and get the wrong guys off the bus." ~ Nick Saban video from @TheCrimsonWhite

“The standard is the standard.” – Mike Tomlin 1. No excuses. 2. No shortcuts. 3. No compromise. The standard doesn’t adjust to you; you rise to meet it. Championship teams don’t just set standards. They live them, every day.
