bow hunting and he makes his own
bows. He takes a lot of pride in this
hobby and makes his bows with
quality wood.
HE SAID IT: "We graduated a lot
of seniors from last year, and a lot
of people didn't give us much hope
for this year. But our kids bought
into what we were teaching, they
worked hard, and there was an
ownership by the players that
made us successful."
