Pleasant Grove EHC

🦃💚 WHAT THE REAPERS ARE THANKFUL FOR 💚🦃
(In no particular order)

This Thanksgiving, the NEA Reapers want to take a second to appreciate all the blessings that keep this team moving — and laughing — all season long.

First off, we’re thankful for support:
From the fans who scream at every play to the family members who yell “BE CAREFUL!” like that’s gonna stop anything. We hear y’all. We love y’all. We still run full speed anyway.

We’re thankful for effort:
The blood, sweat, tears, and whatever noise that one guy makes when he runs.
(We’re not naming names…but he knows. 😂)

We’re thankful for family:
The real ones at home AND the football family who eat together, grind together, and side-eye each other when someone clearly jumps offsides and pretends they didn’t.

We’re thankful for touchdown celebrations:
The good, the bad, and the “bro… what even WAS that?”
10/10 entertainment every time.

We’re thankful for hype videos:
Because nothing says “we’re THAT team” like slow-motion clips, dramatic music, and sparks flying off a helmet for no reason whatsoever.

We’re thankful for team calls:
Especially the ones where someone forgets they’re unmuted
and we get to hear kids screaming, dogs barking, and somebody cooking noodles in the background.

We’re thankful for opportunity:
To play the game we love, build a brotherhood, and grow something real out here in NEA.

And lastly, we’re thankful for…
the Reapers themselves —
the players, coaches, staff, fans, kids, spouses, cousins, and whoever else ends up getting dragged into our chaos.

Eat good. Laugh hard. Rest up.
Because after the holiday, we’re right back to business.

Happy Thanksgiving from the NEA Reapers —
thankful, hungry, and always ready for the next down. 💚⚫🦃
