"The Lift-A-Thon went well tonight, the kids have been working hard in the off-season, the place was packed and I am proud of each and every one of them," said Forrest head coach Matt Kriesky. "It's very important, I told the kids ever since we started raising money for this that not meeting our goals here will be like not meeting our goals when things get tough on the field, so about a week ago I got after the kids and they exceeded our goals tonight."
