Legend Lostā¦
One last huddle, no time outs left, countless lives touched, endless lessons taught āhis way, his wordsā, from history to track to his forte on the green grass of the gridiron, blood, sweat, tears, brotherhood, love him, hate him, he pushed you to do your best. Double sessions, practices in the heat, into the dark, wind sprints and whistles, 2 man and 5 man sleds, the gauntlet, victories and losses, championships and records, after his family, his students, players, love for the game, always came first, he strived to get the best out of everyone he touched, from the leather helmets he wore as a player, to modern equipment he stayed steadfast for his love of the game as he continued to foster young athletes even after his time at Pt. Boro as he helped other schools get their football programs up to speed. Perhaps my favorite quote (all though not at the time) of his as he transitioned us seniors in a season that slipped away from us will stand the test of time, āItās better to have been a Haz-Bin, than a never wasā. Football coaches, track coaches, history teaches, donāt always stick around for 92 years on this earth but this one did as he touched many, many, lives in our school and others while kicking his memory through the up rights and over the goal line to heaven. God Bless you Coach, thank you for the life lessons, and as you rest in peace know we look forward to huddling up with you once againā¦
