2024 Football camping retreat... Fish were caught, mountains climbed, trees felled, survival skills tested and the juniors and seniors even cooked breakfast!!! The Longhorns spent a few days in the high country of Wyoming camping as a team. They checked in their phones and got in touch with their feral side, for some it was a short trip!!! We had a great time and hopefully made some good memories. we also tried to emphasize some football and life lessons along the way.
Ask the Longhorn Football Player in your life what it takes to be a great player or more importantly a great man. Ask what their plan is for the mountain tops and valleys on the field and in life. Ask what they are doing to make a positive impact on their team, family and community.
Looking forward to a great season!!!
