Everybody and their dog will want a piece of Denney Faith this week.

With the combination of 300 career wins and a trip to state (after an 0-5 start) on the line at the same time, Big Country fans will be keeping an close eye on Faith and his Lions (9-5) in Thursday’s Class 2A Division II state semifinal matchup with Gruver (13-1) in Plainview.

It’s only natural.

It is truly a special opportunity — the combination of two incredible accomplishments that could potentially be achieved in the same evening. 

I thought about calling him, knowing that everyone else in the media will be.
