Lufkin's McFarland makes NY Times

[Favpack]

If today's Lufkin Daily News front page piece on Jamarcus McFarland sounded a little different this morning - it's because it was for the NY Times Sports!

Pretty cool stuff we're seeing around here:

Here's the actual NY Times piece:

I never thought of McFarland as a bad kid, I had no reason to. What is absolutely refreshing is to hear how great of kid he is. Everything about that article was impressive and a tribute to this young man's focus, his family & his coaching.

Great article. It is very refreshing to hear good news about highly recruited student athletes for a change.

I usually try to avoid Lufkin threads because normally they are just Lufkin bragging about something --- but this time is something / someone to brag about

Great article about a great kid --- Lufkin deserves to brag about him
