Congratulations to the Bogalusa High School Football team on their success on and off the field (classroom performance, district title, first round playoff win). In the words of Coach Crutchfield, “...success within the classroom translates to success on the athletic field”. I have had the privilege to teach and work with many of these students and I am thankful to God for any and all positive character building activities that involve our youth, in our immediate and surrounding communities. #WeAreALLInThisTogether
