We went to Austin's football banquet last night and had a great time. Austin was awarded his first letter in football. Most importantly he was honored as 1 of 30 players who had maintained a at least a 3.0 since they started high school! Austin's current GPA is 3.4 and this is mostly honors classes. As proud as I am of his football accomplishments I know his academic aclomplishments will take him farther. The banquet was well put together and was at Gateway Baptist church in Ballentine. Shealy's BBQ catered the event and the auditorium was decorated in Dutch Fork Colors. Coach Kimrey gave a good speech and has held true to the same thing he told our team 16 years ago. His advice has always been 4 things in life that are important.
#1 Your Faith
#2 Your Family
#3 Your Education
#4 Football
It still rings true to this day. I know this seems like a brag post because it is...Congrats Austin, We're proud of you!!
