Three coaches at the well attended gathering in Tyler last night. Keller, Kellogg, and Carthel. Well, four counting the high quality volunteer volleyball assistant. The common theme is that they are frustrated and tired. Kellogg drove by himself because he had three recruiting calls to make on the way there, and another scheduled for 8:45.
