Sonny Puletasi learned a lesson during Lawton High's 8-2 regular season — hard work pays off. Puletasi had 12 sacks and 100 tackles for the Wolverines this year, a mark that earned him a spot on the Oklahoman's 2009 All-State team. "It was much better than the year before," Puletasi said. "We improved a lot and I think we shocked a lot of people. That was enough for me. It meant a lot to win those games and have success."
Puletasi hopes to take some of the positives from this year with him to Laramie when practices begin next August. "I got better as a leader," he said. "Last year I didn't even know about leadership. This year I went through a lot with my teammates. Summer workouts and pre-season workouts and I learned a lot."
