My first year as a varsity defensive line coach. At the beginning of the spring ball, I took this opportunity for the kids and promised to work my tail off for them. They embraced me in the greatest way i could ever imagine, and worked even harder for me. They shattered so many 4A, AZ, and School records this year and we embraced every opportunity together to grow.
There is not another group of seniors I would want to coach anywhere in this country! Congratulations on all region young men, you are so deserving!
3 All-Region DL!
