1. My FriendsBy: Devin Russell

2. Chase and I are like brothers. We do everything together, we both play baseball together for school. He comes over to my house a lot and we hang out. We meet Freshman year at school and we have been best friends ever since. Our friendship is very important to both of us.Chase Mauldin

3. Pressley LatonPressley is my best female friend, we meet over the summer before freshman year, when she started coming to my church. We were friends at first but over the last year or so we have grown a lot closer. I don’t know what I do without her as my friend, we help each other through hard times and always pick each other up when were down.

4. Jordan HartsellJordan has been my friend since we little. We played baseball together when we were younger. We really grew closer when we started school at Graystone, Freshman year. We play baseball now together in high-school and we hang out a lot. Our friendship is one that should last forever.

5. Ham DeeseHam is one of the biggest Tennessee fans that I know. That’s almost the only thing that we disagree on. He loves Tennessee football and basketball. Ham and I became friends during freshman year and will probably continue to be friends until we are both coaching together, or against each other…

6. Dalton HartsellDalton and I have been friends since we went to Millingport elementary school in 1st grade. We played baseball together for 5 years, then he went to North Stanly and I came to Graystone. We still talk on a semi-regular basis. He drag races motorcycles and plays golf almost all the time now so we don’t really get to hang out much anymore, but we are still good friends.

7. David CriscoDavid is my uncle, but he is also one of my best friends. He is 35 years old and a cop, since I was able to we have done almost everything together, from hunting to fishing, he has showed me so many things about guns and the law enforcement field that he has influenced my love for some type of law enforcement, hopefully something in wildlife. I hope that we stay as close as we are now, for the rest of our lives.This is my little cousin, his daughter

8. Samantha LowderSamantha is a really good friend of mine. We go to church and school together so we get to spend a lot of time with each other. She is probably one of my closest friends and I will always charish that.
