Sacred Heart head coach Josh Harper says Launey keeps this team focused on the goals at hand!

“He’s a hard working kid, in the weight room, classroom and on the field. He’s a gritty kid…Me and Wes have a good relationship in that I’ll tell him what to do, and he’ll give it back to me… it’s a good QB/coach relationship! He knows what I expect and the expectations are high for him and he’s a great kid to coach,” Harper said.
