22 season is over; Proud of how our guys battled till the end. There’s always a light at the end of the road, and I’m excited about spending the off-season with my girls and our newest member of our family coming in 23😤
5 years ago I was a kindergarten para dreaming about coaching. While I face the pressure of adulting: I’m married to the woman of my dreams, have a beautiful daughter, and GET to coach young men. Crazy how putting your nose down works.
One of the most surreal moments as a coach…1st in Discus, 2nd in Shot. Could not do it without

@omarionsmith22
is the first thrower to be awarded the opportunity to compete at the next level in KILGORE HISTORY. While to most this isn’t a big deal, it is for us. He is a hard worker, and he will do great things. Let’s boost this up for the K😤

Tough lose tonight for the District Championship. We WILL get it corrected and make sure we can make a the run we want to. Proud of my guys for battling adversity and not laying down when the cards were against them. Thank you seniors for being great leaders!
Always excited to start a season, but not with a brother. Being new in town is one thing, but when you make a bond with someone and want to see them achieve great things it hurts to see them not around.
