We also had a group of 10 PHS students go as our athletes’ “Buddies”. Their job was to help ensure the athletes got to each event, help athletes get their lunches and help load/unload the bus. They did a wonderful job of cheering and encouraging our athletes. We would like to send a special thank you to our “Buddies” – Tyke, Josey, Rayelin, Lane, Anna Kate, Tucker, Sammi, Nick, Lendy & Jesús.
