I have officially accepted the Head Coach for Girls Track and Field position at Pinnacle High School. I am so excited for the new opportunity and continue to grow as a coach! Thank you for all the support!
I graduated from Pinnacle High School in 2010, came back to coach T&F in 2014, came back to work on campus and coach Football in 2017 and in 2020 I have become a head coach for Track and Field! I feel so blessed to give back to sports and to a place that gave me so much!
To close out an era at Pinnacle is crazy to me. I will miss the relationships I have built over the years. Thank you all so much for everything...
Goodbye Pinnacle 🅿️

Don't buy into what people say. Football isn't played on a keyboard or in front of a camera. It is not played on social media, a piece of paper or based on somebody's opinion. Trust in yourself and your teammates. Think about how far we have come from the start.

I am so honored to have coached a young man like
@AmelecJ
he is the definition of a leader and a competitor. He does both at the HIGHEST level of character. He is truly a once in a life time individual and I cannot wait to see where his bright future takes him.
Do not let other people's opinions define who YOU are! Carry your head high if you are doing what is right, caring about others, and doing it to the best of your ability! Be great in everything you do!
Track and Field banquet tonight. District MVP, all region team, most points earned for a senior male and the Pioneer Award! Only his second year doing track. Can’t wait to see what the future holds!!

The 2020 Football season is finally here. A day I wasn’t sure we would see. The amount of gratitude I have for this game today, I cannot describe. Our athletes and coaches wanted this so bad and it is HERE!

All the blood and sweat, early mornings and late nights, off season workouts and in season practices has lead to this. What will YOU do with your opportunity today because today, is here..
It’s crazy what you take granted for until it is taken away. All I want to do is go to track and football, coach some athletes, but more importantly make a difference in their lives. It’s my passion and it’s what I love. PLEASE stay safe and healthy!
We can only control 2 things, our attitude and our effort. Everything else is out of our control. Look at every day, every challenge, every moment as an opportunity, you can either run away from it or attack it. That choice is yours and yours alone..
Freshmen QB Devon Dampier was dynamic is his 1st career start
Showed a lot of versatility with his arm and in the running game
17-26 200 pass yards, 48 rush yards

Life lesson: Tell your loved ones how much you care about them and how you love them every chance you get. You never know when it could be your last.

Take a moment for yourself today to reflect on what is truly important to you. Be thankful for the people in your life and tell them what they mean to you. Also be thankful for the challenges each day brings and face them head on. Happy Thanksgiving to all!
Finally cleared from my surgery and had my first high school meet today as a freshman. Threw the shot 44’10.25” and the discus 128’6. Great start to my high school track career but still a lot of work to do.

If you start making your thoughts and mindset about WE and US, watch your I’s and ME’s take care of themselves.
Greatness will come when all eyes and hearts are on one vision.
Camp is a wrap ✅ 7 practices in 3 1/2 days. Kids brought their hard hats & lunch pails every day 💯 When your best players are your hardest workers, you’ve got a chance to be special. We’ve got that chance! Thanks to Army Navy Academy,
@AY_BILT
and our SSFF for making it happen!
Sometimes it just doesn’t make much sense or seem fair...Please let your loved ones know how much they mean to you and hold what is close to your heart extra close!
This class of 2025 LB is really stepping up!
@PimbertOwen
is a SMART football player with a nose for the football! He is a GREAT TACKLER and brings the HAMMER. GRADES to match his play on the field!
Proud of you boys tonight! Be happy and enjoy it but never be satisfied. Be ready and willing to improve. We need to fix the little things tomorrow and be ready to work! Proud of you all!
#FUA
🙌🏼 all the prep work, meetings, lifting, running, practice, all of that was for this moment. Take care of the little things and the big things take care of themselves 🔥
Talk is cheap. Just play. Do not let outside noise affect what goes on internally. Focus on us. Work hard every snap but more than that...It’s time to go today..
#FUA
Take care of the little things and the Big things will take care of themselves. Control your attitude and effort and do things with a purpose! Continue to be better than you were yesterday and no matter what happens, rise above it!
#FUA
Such an amazing staff! So happy I had the opportunity to coach along side you all. This staff means so much to me. I appreciate each and every one of you!

A two year starter finishes his sophomore year with a ring and an offer right out of the gate… going to be a wild off season for
@ZethThues26
who is crucial part of the defense. He demonstrates leadership on and off the field
I have no idea what else anyone needs to see out of
@AmelecJ
from
@GoBigBlue_PHS
in order to give him any love. He does everything at the highest level. On and off the field... but what do I know..
