Carencro Cubs and Coach Broussard

Coach Josiah Broussard
I finally made it to the last game of the season for the Carencro Cubs. They were playing Scott Middle. The Cubs are coached by our own Josiah Broussard. The Cubs are in a rebuilding stage but last night was a game to be remembered. Carencro had a 8-6 lead until the 4th quarter when the Eagles went up 12-8. The Cubs marched over 82 yards with time winding down. With 33 seconds to go in the game and the ball 8 yards to the endzone and no timeouts remaining the Cubs had to act quickly. The last play of the game came with just 7 seconds left. Carencro 4th down on the 1 yard line - do or die situation. The ball was handed off to the half back as he ran towards the goal line - he was hit behind the line but managed to stay on his feet. He was hit again on the one yd line and made one last dive towards the goal line. He extended the ball with a tackler on his back - the ball came to rest on the 4 inch line.

Coach encouraging this kid!
The whistle sounded and the game was over. So close to the 1st win of the season. Congratulations Josiah on your 1st season as a head coach. I am proud of you. When I first got to the game I saw a few of the parents - I told them that Josiah was my son - they said to me that he has been an inspiration to their sons as well as themselves. Josiah thanks for being real and sticking to the stuff and living for Jesus. The future only gets brighter my man. I love you as my own. I am honored to call you friend. It has been awesome to watch you grow up into the fine young man that you are now.

PS: Congratulations on the engagement - nice ring son!
