Due to family considerations I am no longer coaching at Portland HS. I will now be part of Darren Hartley's staff at Lewiston. I have come full circle. Started as head coach at Lewiston in 1983, spent 23 years at Bates, now back at LHS. Truly excited and grateful to be back

I think HS coaches have forgotten what it's like to be a kid in the summer. They schedule stuff 5 or 6 days a week. If a kid is a multiple sport athlete it's impossible to balance and still have fun

The Coach/Player relationship is a very special one. They get to know their players, better in most instances, than anyone else at school. It's more than sports, it's relationship that helps kids grow. Many kids are missing that right now

Thanks to all players, cheerleaders, and coaches for participating in the Lobster Bowl this week. Great cause. Strong Legs Run so Weak Legs can Walk. This week brings back so many great memories

My dad had a 9th grade education, but he taught me the most important thing - respect everyone. It didn't matter if it was a homeless person or the Governor. That's why at his wake there were hundreds to pay their respect
