Senior Cookout/Pool Party at the house is always one of my favorite times of the year. This group was my freshman group when I took over in 2019. Been a great 4 years with them, will enjoy these next three months as their coach.

One of my biggest fears about banquets happened tonight. I forgot to mention a great young man. Jason Spurlock epitomizes Roughrider football is all about and I am deeply sorry for forgetting the young man who deserves to be recognized as the great young man that he is.

This is what is possible if YOU are willing to change a culture! See you in the weight room today!
We had 72 Varsity Grizzlies lift weights today! 2 years ago we had 39 active players on our roster. Players build the program, players make the program, players are the program. Let’s keep that number rising, 18 guys to go!
