It was a true pleasure coaching this young mans first 4 years of football.  Mark has a lot of heart and energy for the game.  Maybe something to prove to his older brother as well. He earned a line backer position his first year and impressed us all every game every year.  Never tired, always "yes coach" always willing to play any position.  Mark and his family will be in our thoughts for ever.
