Crawford High School Band Colt Cunningham Senior 2024 An Athlete’s Prayer God, let me play well but fairly.

Help me to learn something that matters once the game is over.

Let competition leave me strong but never hostile.

Always let me help my opponent up.

Never catch me rejoicing in the adversity of others.

If I know victory, allow me to be happy; if I am denied, keep me from envy.

Remind me that sports are just games.

If through athletics I set an example, let it be a good one.

Colt, We are so proud of your accomplishments and the awesome young man you have become. While you are a hard worker and erce competitor, you also have a kind heart.

We love you and hope you have a great senior year!

Love, Mom, Dad, & Chloe

God knew exactly what we needed with you, my fun-loving, joyful, free-spirited child. You are our favorite 17 year old in the entire world!

Slow down, look around you, soak it in.

Smile your gorgeous smile, laugh your contagious laugh, and make your senior year count.

Then go change the world!

We love you so very much!
