I am Second. Happy Husband/Father. Weights Teacher/Assistant AD and Head Football Coach at Newton High School. Pitt State Gorilla/2011 National Champs🏈🦍
Today was hands down the worst thing I’ve had to do as a teacher or coach. It’s not too late to change your mind
@WichitaUSD259
. Let these kids play the sports they love. They’ve done everything you’ve asked of them. They deserve an opportunity to give their seasons a shot!!
To my guys-I’m here for you wherever and whenever. I love you all and appreciate all the hard work you have put in these last three months. Unfair doesn’t even begin to describe it. You deserve better. We all deserve better.
It is with great honor and excitement that I can announce I have accepted the head football coaching position of Wichita Southeast High! This is an opportunity I’ve been working so hard to achieve. It is a blessing and truly a dream come true.
Are you complaining or being negative too much? Are you surrounded by negative people at work or at home? If so, I highly recommend you to go read this book by
@JonGordon11
! This book shares great advice on ways to be more positive and to better yourself and the ones around you.
The other day I was asked if I was going to try to recruit kids over to play for me. I replied, No that's not me I don't believe in that. If I want to recruit I'll go land a college job. I'm going to focus on the kids in my building and coach them up to the best of my ability.
I am beyond excited to announce I will be teaching and coaching at Andover High School next year! My family and I are so happy and blessed for this opportunity. We look forward to meeting everyone and becoming a part of the Trojan family!
At this time yesterday morning we were blessed with another beautiful little baby girl. It was a rough day for momma, but both her and Winifred are healthy and doing great this morning! We’re looking forward to taking miss Winnie Lou home to see her big brother and sister! 💞
Hey
@WichitaUSD259
, as of now, we have numerous cases of talented 259 student-athletes who are stand out leaders in our young community leaving for a chance to a better future. How many more will it take to get you to listen to us?

God has truly blessed us! Our sweet princess, miss Eleanor arrived yesterday afternoon coming in at 8.2 lbs and 20”. Her and mom are both healthy and doing great! We are looking forward to getting her home soon so she can meet her big brother!
This crew right here is all I need. We’re not sure what the next chapter will be for us, but I know for certain that the Counts fam will keep pressing forward! We’re going to continue to be who we are and we will make the most out of whatever lies ahead!
We sure do love our new home! We had a great time at the basketball games last night! It was nice being able to meet people and put names to faces. Congrats to the Boys team for winning the city league! Way to represent! 💪🏼

Loved meeting the players and staff today! I am very excited for the opportunity to lead this program and to be a part of the Newton community! It’s time to get to work and get this train rolling!
#TheRailerWay
Excited to get out to watch some Kansas Juco football this spring. This year is pretty much football all year around and I’m not complaining one bit! 🏈🏈🏈🏈
We are blessed and excited to announce that our little fullback decided to come a little early yesterday afternoon! Baby Cash came into this world at 20 1/2 in, 7 lb 14 oz. Momma is doing very well and has been a champ through the whole process. We love you Casheous Arlington💙
Blessed to have this school and team welcome me in to be part of their programs this year. My family and I are having a lot fun here in Andover! Go Trojans!
Thanks appreciate it. Definitely a team effort in the second half! We’re very proud of these boys. Now it’s time to get ready for the next one! Go Buffs!
Thursday night final:

trailed by 18 twice in 1H, but Golden Buffaloes score 37 consecutive points in 2H to take control. Congrats to
@Coach_Counts
on his first career win!
#Kpreps
Our Girls 4x1 team is headed to state for the 2nd straight year! We had the 6th fastest time of the 7 entries going into today and ended up finishing 2nd with a time of 49.47! So proud of them!
Man I love my new home
@WichitaSEHS
! I’ve only been here a week and I absolutely love this place. It feels great to be apart of this Golden Buffalo team.

I’ll lose anyday like that if I know we go out leaving everything on the field like we did tonight. We’re so close fellas. This staff loves and believes in you. Let’s go get better next week! Go Buffs
We took a big step as a program this year fellas. We’re proud of how you competed each week and how you handled any adversity thrown your way. Seniors it was a fun ride and I wish you all the best! Young guys get ready to get back to work so we can keep building this thing up!
One of my makeup assignments I give to students is writing a paper on how remote learning has affected them. I don’t want to get into detail about their responses but I’m not going to lie it’s tough reading these. Let’s just say we need to get our students back in person ASAP.
I put many hours in rebuilding the weight room
@WichitaSEHS
. When I came in it was a giant room with outdated equipment and little organization. Go check it out now. I turned that place into a room where kids want to go in and get after it! It’s now one of the best in the state!
Very proud of how our boys competed tonight. It wasn’t the end result we were looking for but I know for a fact things are going in the right direction fellas. It was an awesome crowd and we appreciate you all so much. Time to go get better and get ready for next week! Go Buffs
Best of luck to all the guys playing in the
@KSShrineBowl
today!! It will definitely go down as one of my favorite experiences of all time. Here’s a throwback to one of my favorite pics!
#WestSquad
The wife said she wanted more Christmas lights up this year, so your boy had to step his game up. I don’t want to brag, but I think the Counts house is looking good this year!
I sure enjoyed my first week at
@AndoverHighKS
and getting to meet all my coworkers! We have a special group over here! I have a great feeling about the school year and look forward to seeing all the students next week!
#GreatDayToBeATrojan
I’m already learning a lot in my first year of coaching track. The biggest takeaway for me so far is that I was an idiot for not doing track in High school. Looking back I would’ve benefited from it so much.
Started my eighth year of teaching today, first in the
@AndoverSchools
district! Looking forward to meeting all the
@AndoverHighKS
students next week! Go Trojans!
Congrats on signing today
@alextay80
and
@conawayworld
! I look forward to watching you both continue to grow as young men and to ball out at the next level!
Friday was a historic day for
@WichitaSEHS
. W/ 24 hrs notice we were told there was a chance to play at our new stadium. With only a few hrs before kickoff it was official. Incredible experience. Can’t wait to experience it to the full effect with the band and fans next year!
Great team win for us last night! Im very proud of how we were able to put 4 solid quarters together. We were finally at full force and the seniors played big on senior night! Time to get prepared for a tough Heights team and to get ready to finish the regular season off right!
Heck of a season fellas. Way to battle until the very end. I appreciate you all for welcoming me in the way you guys did and making this a season I’ll always remember. Love you guys and GO TROJANS
@ahs_trojanFB
Man I’m not gonna lie that one hurts. I just want to say I’m super proud of our guys and the strides we made as a team this season. Thank you for building the foundation seniors and young guys get ready to get back to work. The future is bright for
@smnorthfootball
. Go Indians

@CoachNDreiling
Man it seems like yesterday we were strapping on the pads for a spring game and now today you’re the defensive coordinator! Good luck today bro, and I can’t wait to see that defense fly around in the fall! Go Gorillas

Aubrey sent me this picture while I was at work yesterday and I’m not going to lie I got a little emotional on this one. What a great picture of Ellie and I!
5 years ago today was the best day of my life. I got to marry my best friend. I got to marry the most beautiful, loving, caring and hard working person I know. Our marriage grows stronger every year and I look forward to the years ahead of us. Happy Anniversary my love! ❤️
Cash man was pumped he got to come watch some
@ahs_trojanFB
Camp this evening! Looks like he may have earned himself a ball boy spot while he was at it 🏈🏈
Looking forward to getting down to Wichita today to watch the basketball games and to meet some Golden Buffaloes! If you’re at the game don’t be afraid to come introduce yourselves tonight! The family and I would love to meet as many of you as possible! GO BUFFS
Look what got shipped today! I can’t wait until this baby gets hung up in the weight room! Hopefully they get over to hang it soon! It’s a great time to be a Buffalo!

My mom showed Cash our Salina Central 2005 state highlight video a couple weeks ago and since then he’s had to watch it multiple times a day. What can I say the dude loves him some football! 😂🏈
Had a great day yesterday! We found a house, I met with some coaches to talk some football and I spent lunch period getting to meet a bunch of the students! I hope these kids understand how excited I am to get there and get things going! It’s an exciting time to be a Buffalo! 💪🏼
