COACH’S COMMENTS
“… We have three new guys this year, they are learning as we go. This team is going to be very fast very soon and be making a run at firsts and state going forward.”
“… Devon Crum has a legitimate shot at making state in the long jump. Last week he jumped 16’5’’ at his first meet and has already improved that by a foot and a half. He is a confident guy says he can get to 19 or 20 feet.”
“… Brent Setser is one of the hardest working one of the finest young men I have had a pleasure working with. He was against single and double here and was very competitive.”
