Coach Beasley Says:  "George has become the backbone of our team. He's our only senior and he should develop into a dominating, prolific player. He's been in the top ten percent in the nation in field goal percentage each of the last two years, so I think that it would be a good idea to draw up some plays where he'll be getting the ball."
