They worked hard all year, and never complained! They’re hard work paid off on getting to state! Great group of boys. They have a team GPA of 3.54. They work hard in everything they do. We lost one senior Mitchell Tanner. We will be back next year bigger and stronger. Ruby and Jule did a great job. They had some tough competition and didn’t back down. I’m so proud of both girls. I know Ruby wanted to make it to state so bad after being so close last year. Very proud of the entire team and a wonderful group to coach,” Checotah head coach Jason Dowdy said.
