My uncle, Tom Goffena, was the first Toronto Blue Jay ever. He was their 1st Rd pick in their expansion year, 1977 out of Sidney (OH) HS. With that, let’s go Jays!

@Coachward1 @CoachMesser_ @CoachMesser_ is one of the finest students I’ve had at Garner. And an absolute stud on the field!

JC Covington is an elite level athlete who plays the game hard and fast! Elite defender. Tons of juice in the bat. Also the NC 4A long jump state champion.
