meetings with players and didn’t get to do many team functions.
“Being able to have a spring practice and being around the guys have made a big difference,” Durrah said. “We feel like we have a culture now. We feel like we have guys that understand what we are preaching, our core values, our work ethic, our discipline and just being together as a team. Being able to build relationships and physically being together instead of virtual has made a huge impact on our program.”
Friday night, the team capped off a successful spring season

CENTRAL — Coming off an undefeated state championship season, the Daniel Lions finished up spring practice on Friday night, and by all accounts it was a successful spring for the Lions.
“We’ve been challenging them here for the last week and some change,” Daniel head coach Jeff Fruster said. “We told them about the importance of auditioning and putting their best foot forward every time they get a chance to step on the field, and I thought that’s what they did.”
The Lions got a great day from their defense despite missing key contributors like Brodey Conn, Logan Lasher

Make Popeye proud and eat your spinach
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
Some people don’t like spinach.
Or at least they think they don’t. I believe that’s because they’ve never eaten a good spinach dish.
Remember when you’re buying spinach to avoid leaves that are too big or brown on the edges. Stick with smaller green leaves.
I’m willing to bet you’ll like at least one of these recipes. Enjoy!
