Here is something to ponder on a Friday morning….
The haka has been discussed previously on this site (here and here). Since it is playoff time in Texas 5A high school football, the media is once again writing about the haka performed by the Euless Trinity Trojans.
The Trinity haka is clearly inspired by the spirited haka of the All Blacks rugby union team in New Zealand. One key difference is that the Trinity haka seems to be perfomed for their fans whereas the All Blacks haka is aimed at their opponent.
Would a Falcons haka violate the Ozark Conference Creed?
If yes, would it be different if we had a large Tongan population at Glendale?
My favorite haka is the new haka, complete with a throat slashing gesture, from the All Blacks. I know it would not be approved.

Coach Rogers says a number of people have inquired about Ryan Frewin’s status and he wants to update the Falcons Nation.
Ryan will have his heart procedure performed on Monday, November 20 at Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. The Frewins will keep Coach Rogers updated on Ryan’s status after the procedure.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Ryan and the Frewin family.

“I won’t deny that it is pleasant to succeed in what you strive to do, but winning matches at all costs is not the test of true achievement.
There is no dishonor in defeat, as long as you play to the limit of your strength and skill. What matters above all things is that the game should be played in the right spirit, with the utmost resource of skill and courage, with fair play and no favor, with every man playing as a member of a team, and the result accepted without bitterness or conceit.”
Sir Matt Busby
Former coach of Manchester United from 1945-1971
