"You’re going to face obstacles in life and on the field. There are 100 people everyday ready to tell you what you can’t do. You’re too small. You played at a small school. Don’t pay attention to them. Don’t pay attention to the roadblocks. You’re in the way or you’re on the way." - London Fletcher '97
