Some days it just hits me how lucky I am to do what I do. I’m so proud of this team — the heart, the fight, the way they show up for each other every single day. We have incredible senior leadership, a group of kids who work their tails off without needing the spotlight, and a coaching staff that pours everything into this program. I love this job, and I love these people. Overwhelming pride doesn’t even begin to cover it. Back to Back District Champs!! It's a great day to be a Cougar!
