Three Orangefield Bobcat athletes will be moving their talents to the next level. Mackenzie Haley will play volleyball at Centenary College in Shreveport. Morgan Sampson will play football at Lamar and Cameron Dischler will play football at Angelo State.
OF volleyball coach Ashley Peevey said Haley is the total package. “She works hard everyday to get better. She’s someone I’ve grown to trust and as a coach that’s a big deal. Everybody wants her on their team. All of the coaches have tried to recruit her to play their sport because she’s such a good athlete.” This season Haley was All-District, All-Academic and All-KOGT.
Sampson will be playing for new Lamar Head Coach Pete Rossomando. Coach Josh Smalley said, “Morgan is a great kid. He just got Student of the Month and his academics are great. Morgan had to deal with an injury this football season. He could’ve said he was done but he battled back and helped us win a district championship.” Sampson also played basketball and is also on the baseball team.
Dischler will be playing eight hours away for the Rams of Angelo State. The Rams will be getting Orangefield’s all time leading rusher and single season leading rusher as he put up an incredible 2400 yds. and 28 touchdowns this season. He was the District MVP for the District Champs. “In 20 years Cam is the only guy that would show up to watch film on Saturday carrying a notebook to take notes. He never missed reps in the weight room,” Smalley said. Smalley called Dischler the “best player I’ve ever coached.”
