Whereas, senior Eagles Clay Oliver and Reed Shindellledthe team’s defensive efforts that limited Thomas Heyward’s offense to a score below their season average. LinebackerClay Oliver recorded eleven tackles, and defensive tackleReed Shindell posted ten tackles; and
Whereas, in a sport that demandsstrength, talent, and determination, Head Coach Tommy Lewis and his skilled coaching staff capitalized on their own athletic ability and training to forge a championship team and teach these athletes lessons that will prove invaluable through life both on and off the gridiron; and
