Texas is a great place to do a track. You've got good weather year-round. It's a good location. Texas has a lot of energy. People are progressive here.
The seniors on our team have had a little rivalry with Morgan from fifth grade. We always joke about playing Morgan in the state championship game. I guess this is as close as we're gonna get, but it'll be fun.
No accommodations were made to allow the large public to attend this meeting. It is my belief all motions and recommendations made at this meeting could be deemed moot.
