This is not the Texas Way. This is not educational based athletics meant to teach young men discipline, control of self and respect for others. This is not how we show competitive spirit in the great state of Texas! Never post negativity but seeing more and more of this.
Lubbock High School powerlifting state qualifiers were recognized this morning by our district. Big thank you to @mmeeks11 and @kathrynrollo for providing us the opportunity to celebrate our kids accomplishments!

This is a good life lesson from #Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.
He says he will not pre-judge a player (in this case Chase Claypool) based on things he's heard, but instead he'll base it on his own interactions.
"I’m going to give you the opportunity to define who you are in the most honest, organic, real way possible and that’s open-mind, clean-slate, and let’s go."
He also playfully added to the media about Claypool:
"You guys want me to say it, don’t you? He’s fast. It’s cool." 😄

Dan Lanning has put Oregon Football back on the map.
And on the cusp of their first college football playoff appearance since 2014.
But his remarkable story -- and how he's taken college football by storm -- doesn't start there.
It starts in 2011.
When Lanning landed a spot on Pitt's coaching staff as a graduate assistant.
Barely making ends meet for his wife and three kids...
But he found a way.
Rising in the coaching ranks and learning from some of the game's brightest minds.
Nick Saban.
Kirby Smart.
Now, Lanning has quickly become one of the hottest — and most talked about — head coaches in college football.
At just 37 years-old.
This is Dan Lanning’s story — unfiltered.
