Congrats guys....
Coach Godsey is awesome but he needs to get some hartselle kids on this list. We never seem to have any kids go to the next level. Make some connections
Hartselle has had kids that could have been on a list like this the past several years but due their grades and other interests they made a decision to just be students for the next four years. Smart kids on and off the field. Godsey has as many connections as any coach in the area.
