I would first like to say congratulations to the Auburn football team for winning the Section III Championship and the New York State Championship.

I would like to thank all the guys and the coaches for letting me go on this journey with you.

You have made this city alive again, I know because I have seen it first hand, from the Henninger game all the way to the state title.

You guys deserve everything you are getting, enjoy it and don't let go of it. I have loved going to every game and sitting (standing) in the stands and watching you play, with all your heart and soul, and watching your parents and friends cheer you on.

I think I might have been the loudest one in the stands when the game was being played.

I would also like to thank all the fans for your support for these guys. You are all the 12th player on that field for this whole journey.

Once again I would like to say thank you to all you guys; it has been a fantastic ride.
