"At our very first staff meeting, we discussed that we wanted to make the Chairman's Award a priority," Lee-Scott Athletic Director Bobby Samford said.
...
"This award is reflective of your entire athletic program, top to bottom," Samford said.
...
Samford said he hopes this year's success serves as a jumping off point for the school's athletic programs.
"We're really not satisfied with staying there, because I feel like we have the potential to do that every year," Samford said.
"We want to get better.
We want to use this year as a model, but we want to keep going from here."
Samford said the school's slogan for the year, both academically and athletically, has been a Bible verse from Colossians: "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart."
And he said the Warriors' athletes and coaches certainly have lived up to those words.
"Everybody has really embraced that verse, and that's how we approached the year," Samford said.
"It's been a special thing."
