"Once graduation occurs, and so to me it takes a special kind of guy to get up you know and give away his summer and come work, for the chance to play in December, and it just shows you who really loves it, and loves their teammates, and if it's important to you, then you'll do it."
The Cowboys take on Hamilton County on August the 18th for a preseason match-up. They open up the regular season at Wakulla on the 25th.
