STICK WITH IT

     Regarding the recent Bob Sapp/Hal Lyness interview, Dave Germer, BHS-69, wrote, "just want to say coach Lyness was the best teacher I ever had! I had him for history and it turned into my favorite class. I guess it was just the way he presented  material, made you want to know more. He was a great coach as well. If you weren't quite as good as others, he would tell you to stick with it, "you're going to get bigger, faster and better." "Never give up" was  his message."
