Luke it was an honor to coach you. You were truly one of the special ones. The way that you fought everyday at workouts. The way you uplifted others, and also became a light in my life is truly special. I am grateful for our time together and mostly for our relationship.

Extremely proud of the way our guys played! Always excited when guys just do their job! This is a great example of all 3 guys doing what theyโre supposed to. Shout out to our guy winning the 1 on 1! Our secondary definitely helped us get a coverage sack.
Excited to have back to back weeks with a DUDE representing the trenches for โญ๏ธ of the week.

Another piece of our depth and highly talented defensive line. Returning varsity player and will just be a sophomore!
I had a kid tell me yesterday. โCoach I want to play in college. I already know colleges are going to see me and want to say no based off of my size. When they see me play they will see my work ethic, and if they donโt. Iโll trust the path that God has for me.โ

While I was working performance course at Allen years ago there was a quote I read daily listed below. This sums up everything and anything there is about life. Always COMPETE
My greatest reward as a coach has nothing to do with Football. My greatest reward is seeing men graduate college, military, being great adults and fathers.
Blessed and honored to celebrate this distinguished student! I donโt take it lightly to have been chosen as her inspirational teacher. This young woman will do great things in our society and I thank God for the oppportinity to be your coach.
Reflecting back on last night, we have so much heart as a team. You donโt come back on a great team, down 21 at half time without high character players. Family is huge loved the buy in. Also have the BEST FANS! Great day to be a Ranger
Just had a student athlete text me their grades, and itโs one of the best messages Iโve received. We celebrate their athletic successes, we must really celebrate their academics.
Really proud of this young man, keep it up!
So proud of this group, wasnโt always easy throughout our 4 years together, but you finished. You are Champions never forget that, it canโt ever be taken away. You are responsible for a lot of grays in my hair. At times I know I was tough, but I gave you my all. Will miss u
There is no better feeling in coaching than seeing kids reach their dreams. Our job as coaches is to steward them. All of these men answered the call and exceeded status quo! Congrats to our signees and special shout out to one of our d lineman ๐.
Exciting when kids go on to the next level. Iโve known this kid since they were in middle school. Was blessed to coach her for a few years!
Always your coach for life! Congrats

It takes a lot to be honest in life.
I hated it when my coaches got on to me . Now as a man I am grateful for my coaches that cared enough about me to tell me the truth.
Whether I wanted to hear it or not.
Thatโs coaching, not condoning negative behavior or actions. ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
I canโt help but wake up and have my heart out for our kids today.
As adults over 30 we all know that what they are dealing with today is not normal. Itโs not normal to worry about going to the fair or mall. I just know that something needs to change. We canโt just move on.
New PR this morning Iโve never in my life ran 3 miles consistently. Not the fastest time, but itโs good enough at 260. Still grinding! Part 2 coming soon.
Today I went in to check on a high school teammate in the hospital. Upon arrival his mother in law commented on the type of football program we had. Due to the brother hood of men that have been in to check on him. This is what McKinney North football is about.

Have to use my platform, I remember how it felt seeing Trayvon killed. I was in college prayed for justice only to see someone walk away. I remember how much it hurt, and how angry I was. That anger now turned to sorrow realizing that justice somehow turned into just us.
This morning, its been great reading all of the comments from the influence made over the years. Couldnโt do it without Christ, continually do all things to honor him. God will rise us and humble us.

Better get on this recruit while you can going to be a dude this fall!
As a coach enjoy your time with your athletes.
The ones that gave me these gray hairs is one of the groups I miss the most.
The fact that they finished and are doing well in life is huge.
The goal is always Eternal.
How you act in the classroom, and in the hallways is where you show your true character. If you show great character in front of coaches and games only. That is no character at all, nothing more than a show with no authenticity. The fake eventually get exposed. Character WINS!
Always grateful for my middle school coach! Iโve seen this guy multiple times within the last few years. Appreciate him for being a great role model.
Day 2 I would like to recognize Jake! This young man has overcome 2 surgeries and this video is his first meet back, after having surgery. Selfless individual that has impeccable character. PR 44โ10. So much power will continue his academics at OU.
One thing this year Iโve noticed about our JV group is that Iโve never had to clean the bus up after a trip! Championships come from doing the little things.
At coaching school definitely great running into my position coach. Iโm blessed to still have a relationship with this guy. Coach stayed on my head, now as a coach myself I know why. โฆWe talked D line play for a while! โฆ

Itโs such a blessing when student athletes get the opportunity to further their education. Definitely going to miss this young man. FIND A WAY!

Another great week of PC with my man
@Z_Fowl37
6 weeks with a defensive lineman winning Star of the week.
The reason this matters is because it shows that they are selfless and not afraid to sell out. Shout out to

ULTIMATE TEAMMATES
Yesterday was a great day. I got a few of these notes in my mailbox from students.
Our purpose is always bigger than us. Glad God letโs me be a vessel to make an impact. These notes are a simple reminder of why I do what I do.
Thankful for each one of these individuals.
Best staff that there is in the game of Track! Relationship builders blessing when things pay off, completing the ๐งน and run of district championships of this program!
Great seeing another former player! It was a blessing to have him as one of the first players that I coached.
Proud of the young man that he turned out to be! Went on to finish as a marine. Lifelong relationship!
The reason why I coach, man this really lifted my day. I remember going to KAA camp and hearing a man tell me something Iโll always take with me in life. The story of David, when people saw a man, God saw a king. So when looking at people see the king behind the man.
Been working hard on trying to get a mile within 10 minutes. A lot of progress within the last few weeks. Didnโt quite make it, but almost there. 280 pounds and getting it!
Call the game, life is bigger than football. Canโt imagine this happening and have never seen anything like it.
I would be more concerned for my teammate more than anything.
Growing up, I had a false view on manhood. Manhood isnโt who barks the loudest, being overly assertive, or not showing fear. Manhood is standing up when others donโt, showing action instead of yapping, and being vulnerable, but courageous in the face of fear. That is manhood.
