"I look at me in high school and and it was just the pure love of the game of football. Everything that football is about, the toughness, the physicality and the get after it, play in the trenches. I see these kids and I said yesterday they have a Sinton toughness to them and they take pride being a Sinton boy. They take pride in that toughness they will have out on that football field." said Troutman.
