This week, the State Fire Marshal presented our own Lt. Rick Thomas with the 2023 Governor's Award for Fire Prevention Officer of the Year! Lt. Thomas was recognized for his dedication to public education and we're lucky to see his passion here every day. Congrats, Lt. Thomas!

Very classy move by Deion Sanders, who made sure to say this during his press conference today: "Henry Blackburn is a good player who played a phenomenal game... This is a still young man trying to make it in life ... He does not deserve a death threat over a game." "I forgive him. Our team forgives him. Travis Hunter has forgiven him. Let's move on. That kid does not deserve that." Much respect to Coach Prime.👏

If you choose a team sport, and your desire for individual success is greater than your desire for your team’s success, your journey will be filled with a lot of frustration. Winning on a team is fueled by everyone’s sacrifice.

Most people that know me know my Service Dog Smitty. But they didn’t know he’s also a pretty famous pet model!

Johnny Manziel says Reggie Bush deserves not only to get his Heisman trophy back but to be on the stage every year with the other winners. 🏆 Agree or Disagree ?

Upperclassmen and the top players set the tone for the program’s success. However, the most important culture-protectors are the players who play some games, don’t play others, are always ready to contribute, and never waver in their enthusiasm and love for their teammates.

Players: Quit looking around your team for leaders. They graduated and moved on. Look in the mirror and take action. It’s your team; it’s your legacy.

I get it coaches! We want to see the girls carry their own stuff and be accountable. But when was the last time your college catcher caught 5-6 games in a weekend in 90 degree weather? If I saw a dad help her carry her stuff, I’d think that’s just a good dad. Get over it
