"Two old codgers" was the photo caption suggested by another veteran of Southland Conference track and field competition, McNeese sports information director/senior associate AD Louis Bonnette, who kindly passed along this picture from the chilly March 14 Cowboy Relays in Lake Charles.
On the left is former McNeese track coach and athletics director Bob Hayes, and of course our hero on the right, our track coach since 1982, Leon Johnson.
Although retired, Hayes makes it to a lot of track meets, not just those at McNeese, and makes a point to come say hello at football and basketball games in Lake Charles.
Scenes like this remind us that while we're competitors with our rival schools, we can also be really good friends.
