I've had the privilege to be around and coach a lot of great kids over the years, but Rowdy is one of the greatest. Mature beyond his years, level headed, smart as heck and tough as nails but has a heart of gold. Sometimes I gotta whoop on him a bit to keep him in check but aside from my own boy, he's one of my all time favorite kids. He's definitely a dude in my book. Been fun watching him grow up.
