It is not the critic who counts; not the man who
points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds
could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is
actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and
blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and
again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but
who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms,
the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at
the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who
at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so
that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who
neither know victory nor defeat.

This weekend, NOAH teams competed with the very best in Oklahoma. Defending state champions, top-ranked favorites, and worthy opponents. We celebrate the opportunity to play the best. We choose to continue believing in our teams. We thank all those who believe with us for great things to come, and we continue to work together, to make our collective dreams come true.
NOAH's volleyball and football teams continue to rank highly in Oklahoma.
