As the question keeps getting kicked around of cancelling sports and football in general, here is just a piece of my story! A story that wouldn’t even be written without the game of football and everything that comes with it! The reason I am a coach!

Well official as of about 5 minutes ago, I have officially been named the new Athletic Director/Head Football Coach at Bells ISD! To say my family and I are excited is an understatement! Start tomorrow morning and can’t wait!! Collinsville kids, I love y’all! I will miss y’all!

This season, you panthers, and these coaches achieved something so great together! Started 1-3, and reeled off 8 straight before losing to a really good Pewitt Team! You represented your town with such integrity, grit, and class! My family loves each and every one of you!

Man what a fun season! Started 1-3, straggled with some injuries, now won 6 straight to the district championship. But these kids are not satisfied! We want this group to stay together, which means win each week! Thanks Leonard for letting us in your indoor to prepare!!

Always cherish your loved ones! On this day, 17 years ago, I, at 16, lost my father. Dad, you were not perfect, and told me many of times I was the one thing in your life that you got right! I miss you and think about you all the time! Keep watching down on me! I love you!

Now that’s a quote I can get behind! Slot-T kid going to play Division 1 receiver! Can’t tell me it can’t be done! Lamar offered him as an athlete, because he’s a football player. Whatever the system, the right people will see you if you can really play!

What a moment in the courtroom, just now. Botham Jean's brother Brandt took the opportunity to forgive Amber Guyger, tell her to devote her life to Christ, and then asked the judge if he could give Guyger a hug.
The judge, wiping tears from her eyes, allowed the moment to happen
