Program: Program: Our Program on the 3rd: Belton High School Head Coach Brett Sniffin, brought to us by Lion Tail Twister Danny Dossman.  Coach Sniffin came to Belton High just before Spring Break – from Iowa – his Dad was a Coach before him.  Challenged with the COVID-19 pandemic, Coach Sniffin, Coaches and Teams have been training to fit into a hybrid schedule.  The Team motto is: “Break the Rock” or “BTR” – symbolizing “hard work”.  Their first home game will be September 25th against Georgetown.  We’re crossing our fingers that we see them at the State Championship in January!
