[Forever Maroon]

I don't know. I never had to rely on a teammate to pump me up before a game. I would have ignored him and maybe laughed at him. Also would have told him he did it just to be on camera. On the other hand that old man they call COACH put chills on me before I stepped on the field every game. That is why when Bell steps on the field they are mentally ready.

Any of us who know "that kid" from Pulaski County know he could care less about a camera being around. He is Tyler Stone, a kid who wasn't even supposed to play this year due to a severe knee injury. He busted his tail getting back on the field for his Sr year and bleeds Maroon! I doubt highly you would have laughed at him in that locker room. He truly is what being a Maroon is all about! As a player I would would have run through a brick wall for him after that. Great job, Derek.
