Quite a Group

Monmouth Director of Athletics Roger Haynes stands in front of the large group of former Fighting Scots athletes who returned to campus Feb. 11 to attend the inaugural Roger Haynes Invitational in the Huff Athletic Center and pay tribute to their former coach. In addition to posing for this photo, Haynes likely appeared in more selfies in one day than he had since cell phones became omnipresent, as many of his athletes wanted to capture a special moment with him.
