Campbell said, “Sports gives us the opportunity to build quality relationships in a short amount of time. This team has grown more than any team I have ever coached over the last seven months. We knew they had good hearts and good character, but this group has exceeded all expectations. It has been a privilege to coach this group. It is one of the more memorable years I have been blessed with.”
