“It has been a blessing to coach these seniors for the past four years. They have won a lot of games in their careers, and it has been a wonderful experience for me just to be a part of it. To watch them grow from boys to young men has meant more to me than words can express, and I can’t wait to see what they do next in their lives.” ~ Coach Chris Harris
