Attention all players!
I do have favorites and I play my favorites the most!
My favorites go to class everyday, get over 3.0 GPA’s, crush the weight room, treat their teammates great, respect and communicate with their coaches, and put up big numbers on the field!
My son and I started this journey when he was 5 years old and we moved to Herkimer. After 4 years in coast guard, he joined our team as a player….his first year, we win a National Championship.
