What an unbelievable group of servant leaders. Proud to be their Head Coach. Wouldn’t want to take the field with anyone else. Playing for the ones that have come before us, it was a priority for this team from the start. 2021/22, We will always value your legacy. Thank you! #FE pic.x.com/3agSt0p8zy

Don’t cry because it’s over, Smile because it happened… The moment I came into this program these guys took me under their wing and treated me as family, as did the whole program. I’ve learned so much from these two and I am honored to call them my teammates. Love you guys❤️ https://t.co/5V9FbaqxLM
