I am confident that this growth will continue as he begins his collegiate career in the fall. It is always satisfying as a coach to see a young man take advantage of a talent with which he has been blessed by God.” During his time as a Wolverine, James and his teammates were GHSA Golf State Champions for two years in a row.
Bailey Stockton signed to play football at Georgia Tech. Head Coach Greg Vandagriff says that the Prince football program appreciates all that Bailey did for the Wolverines. “Georgia Tech is getting a heck of a football player and a better human being. We are expecting great things from him and want to wish him the very best of luck. Go Jackets!” During his time as a Wolverine, Bailey and his teammates won two GHSA Football State Championships.

But these were no ordinary friends; these were Prince kindergarten Sleepy Buddies!
Prince Media Center Specialist Danny Delgado is always searching for unique ways to inspire his young students toward the love of reading. “We want our students to associate reading with pleasure, joy, and enthusiasm.” Mr. Delgado certainly inspired enthusiasm with his recent kindergarten “Sleepy Buddy Library Sleepover”!
