Quote of the week

“Mental toughness is everything in football,” sophomore quarterback MJ Morris said. “People talk about physical toughness, but if you don’t have mental toughness, you might as well not even be in this sport. Once you break down mentally, it’s over for you. Us staying together as a team is what builds our mental confidence, our mental toughness.”
