Coach Billings and our high school football players had an awesome opportunity to attend the Notre Dame Spring Game last Saturday.
This trip was earned as a reward for the players who have been putting in the work and showing commitment in the weight room this spring. Proud of these young men for their effort, discipline, and dedication to getting better.
Great things happen when hard work is rewarded. Go Cardinals!
