“The people in the room have no clue the amount of wealth that was received today at the Conference! Thank you, every last one of our athletes, coaches, and parents needed to be here today. I fumbled the ball by not getting them here, and all of our upperclassmen will be there next year!”

- Eric Gambrell, Athletic Director at Batesburg Leesville HS
