The cookout was a great success and we thank all of the players and parents that made it out.  Coach Slocum and the school guidance counselor gave a lot of great information about academics and scholarship requirements.  A very special thank you to the guest speaker, The Honorable Chris Craft, of the Shelby County Criminal Court.  He had some very shocking statistics and observations, but he also gave some very valuable advice on breaking the crime cycle in our neighborhoods.

Even youths grow tired and weary, And young men stumble and fall; But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; They will run and not grow weary, They will walk and not be faint.    Isaiah 40:30-31
