Oh, and Lumberton guy!!

To quote the Senior Bowl Website: “The Senior Bowl is the nation’s most unique football game and football’s premier pre-draft event, annually featuring the country’s best senior collegiate football players and top NFL draft prospects on teams representing the North and South that are coached by the entire coaching staffs of two National Football League teams.” 
It is a real honor to have our Petal guys participate in this event which includes folks from all over our country.

Very familiar with Petal.  I just thought it was a local thing.

BamaBob,
One of the members of Only 4 is a native Mobilian and both grandmothers as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins live there. Petal is only and hour and 45 minutes away.

I knew in my heart you were going to win.  I am so proud of all of you.  Dakota, I don’t know the other boys but I am sure they are just as special as you are. You are such a blessing to all of us.  Thank you so much for the CD.  What you wrote on it made me cry.  I will soon be able to say I knew him when…....  Keep singing for his glory and you will bless the lives of all who hear you.  Can’t wait to hear Only 4 in person.  Again, I love you and am so very proud of you.

Ms. Faye

Always use that talent for his glory! Always let others see Christ in your lives! Most of all…never loose sight of where all these blessing and all this talent comes from..and that is your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Dakota, as your mother I have had the honor and priviledge to watch you grow from a “special boy” to a “special young man”!  All those hours of listening to you bang on anything you thought made a noise resembling a musical sound is finally paying off!! Just remember no matter how grown up you think you are there is one fact you can never change, you ARE and always will be “my baby”!!!!!!!!lol I am so proud of you and I love you sooooo much!  MOM
