My son is a member of the Class of 2020. My heart hurts for him. I coach several outstanding girls in track that are seniors and it hurts me that they may not get to compete again. Our 2020 class in football this year was special... https://t.co/1dVeeOLxuZ

During this down time players from all sports will be accountable as to what their commitment level is to their sport, their coaches, their teammates and most importantly to themselves. How you train alone is indicative of YOUR love of ALL of the above. #grindon #COMMITTED

Can’t describe how much Payton Rhoades and Phoenix Prime have meant to our program. These two seniors led our team on the court, but more importantly showed our younger players how to work hard, be coachable, and treat people with respect. This is why our team had a great season.
