Hays High senior football player Peyton Steele got quite the surprise Tuesday when Texas Tech interim dean Dean Paul Goebel personally visited during class to present him with a scholarship to the Rawls Business Leadership Program at the school. Steele is one of only 16 freshman students across Texas that are accepted and offered a scholarship into the program. Also present at the presentation was Steele’s mother, Jennifer Steele, Neal LaHue, Hays head football coach and athletic coordinator, Travis Finch, assistant coach, Brent Holcomb, head soccer coach, and David Pierce, Hays High principal.
