RAINSVILLE, Ala.—The Plainview Bears Varsity Football team had special visitors on the practice field, Wednesday morning.  The recruiting team for the United States Army out of Fort Payne, came to work out with the players.

“These guys are nice enough to work out with the team.  They will be doing team building exercises and talking to our team about character and how important it is to be a team player” said Plainview Head Coach, Dustin Goodwin.  “No one understands the value of teamwork better than these guys.  It is so good that they would take the time to come share with our players.”
