The story “More Than A Game: The Life Lessons of Bobby Barnes” was one of the Eagle Eye’s most read articles of the 2024-25 school year. This year, Eagle Eye writer Makayla Howard brought Barnes in for a podcast to tell his life story and speak with some of this year’s current football players: Caden Harris, John Stanton, and Eli Woomer. He gave his advice for athletics, and some lifelong lessons that have the potential to make an impact.
