I want to thank all of our student-athletes that joined us and participated in our group mentoring call on Thursday. We had a great open discussion about mental health led by our guest speaker Meagan Whitfield. Our conversation didn't leave us time to get into our technique breakdown so I took the time to record one today and I've included it here in this email for your reference. - Bernard "B.J." Futrell

If you've been around PAL Wrestling Club anytime over the past few years, you've probably been lucky enough to get to know Pat Daly! for those who haven't been so lucky, Pat is a spectacular kid with an infections smile & a work ethic that just doesn't quit! Recently, Pat & his parents took the time to talk with us about what being a part of PAL/BTSP has meant to him & what they had to say was astounding! We're so proud of the young man that Pat is becoming and we know there are even bigger successes ahead for him. Good luck at Roman Catholic this year, Pat!
