Eagle8 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 On Friday, September 9th, the Tatum Eagles will become Honorary Mayflower Panthers. Here is the prayer that was taught, learned, and recited before every football game: MAYFLOWER FOOTBALL PRAYER Gracious Master help us endure to the end and put in execution the things the coaches have taught. And believe that whatever happens on the field of play happens for the betterment of the team. When the game is over let us be able to say with all sincerity; we fought a good fight, we finished the course, we kept the faith. Repeat Team won’t be beaten Can’t be beaten All for one And one for all 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
