Thank you to @CoachTatum90 for putting on a great clinic today! Our staff got better today!

Our leaderboards at the end of the 3rd nine weeks!! Our young men are working their tails off in the weight room, we can’t wait to see it translate to the field this fall!

The weight room is biased. It only rewards those who work. And it will see right through anyone not willing to do it. It’s a truth teller. You can’t fool it. It will let you know exactly where things stand.

I appreciate @ChrisHughesCP and @CarolinaPreps1 for stopping by Southern, to give me a chance to talk about our program and young men! Thank you! @SAPatriotsFB

Spring Tour stop: Southern Alamance I visited Southern Alamance to talk with the Patriots head coach Jonathan Hester about the work going on this spring — weightlifting, skill development and preparation for the 2026 season. @SAPatriotsFB @CarolinaPreps1 @RZstrength
