  KEYS TO THE NEW CAR
  Mullen Announces New Flag Football Coach
  
  

  New things - Aren’t they awesome!  For instance, getting that brand new car with its reflective paint and new car smell, or the maintenance-free security of a brand-spanking new house with fresh paint on the walls and perfect carpet and hardwood, or how about the look of a new suit or evening gown and the confidence boost it gives its wearer as everyone sneaks a peak at what real style looks like.  We are drawn to the anticipation of newness.  The mystery of what lies in wait, the learning curve of mastering the unknown,  the excitement of the uniqueness of being one of the first to parade the new look are all things that draw us to want the latest thing.  It is human nature or, perhaps, today’s conditioned culture, not sure which.  Regardless, new is nice.  In that light, Mullen Athletics has something new, and it is ecstatic to show it off.  A new athletic program is unveiling its inaugural season this fall, and the expected excitement with the novelty of the program is right up there with all new things.  Mullen will field its first girls’ flag football team this fall as a charter member of CHSAA’s newest sanctioned sport.  With that addition comes inherent needs, and the first priority is naming the right coach to get this new program thriving and banner-worthy.
