@lohudinsider @lohud @lohudsports @hoopsmbd @erapay5 @HaggertyNancy This is so crazy to me. Josh has done such a tremendous job highlighting the accomplishments of local athletes over the years. I grew up with lohud in my house; I never read anything except for local sports. I have a digital subscription, specifically to read Josh’s content.

Kids film and stats are silly good. Had a 170 QBR from @MaxPreps in the State Championship finals game.

[Coach Hines 🇺🇸 @CoachKurtHines]

Underclassmen – Do yourself a favor, and ask to sit down (1 on 1), with the senior that you have the greatest respect for.

Ask them what their greatest regrets are over the past four years, ask them what they would do differently, ask what they’re most proud of, & TRULY LISTEN!

[Matt Fitzsimons @MattFitzsimons4]
