Crank it all the way up & hit the repeat button Coach! We love you man...prayers & love to the Clark family who are all that is good in the world!
In a sea of commentary one constant truth emerges again and again:
Coach Shawn Clark achieved his goal to impact people the way Coach Moore impacted him.
Anyone that knew Shawn knew how precious Coach Moore was to him. He mentioned this in his introductory HC press conference in 2019. He knew in 1994 following a playoff loss to BOISE STATE that he wanted to impact young men the way Coach Moore impacted him.
Coach Moore was around the program more in Clark’s tenure than he had been since his own tenure ended in 2012. Coach Moore was Coach Clark’s cultural guiding light.
Any Appalachian fan can take .2 seconds and see on their timelines just how much Coach Clark impacted their life. It ranges from fans, parents, admins, staff, players, and fellow coaches. Everyone.
Anyone that came across Coach Clark was positively impacted. Period.
We’ve been blessed to know hundreds of different coaches and players that have come through Boone. Coach Clark was as genuine and kind as any single person we’ve met. He was an Appalachian man of the highest order.
We’re all sad today. Devastated. How can you not be?
But let one silver lining be that Coach Clark’s goal stemming back from 1994 to impact people as a coach wasn’t just met. It was exceeded in every way possible.
Thank you, Coach.
We love you forever.
61 Forever 🖤💛
Absolutely heartbroken and sick to my stomach… Coach was the ultimate players coach and the epitome of Appalachian State. Above all, he was an amazing father and person who loved all. My thoughts and prayers go out to the Clark family, rest in peace Coach Clark❤️
What Jason Kelce just said on broadcast is exactly what it’s like being a Mountaineer. There is just such a different culture than anywhere else. People outside of Boone don’t get why there is such a deep passion for App State athletics. I couldn’t be prouder to be an App grad.
Gov. DeSantis says Florida has its state handled and federal government needs to focus on saving lives in North Carolina
Florida sent its own search and rescue deployment to NC, but the federal gov’t has far more assets to save lives
How is 1 state doing more to help NC than the entire federal gov’t?!
This is what happens when nobody knows who is running the country
I tried to tell James Madison what was on the horizon
They called me a madman
Maybe now, people won’t forget how gritty these App State Mountaineers are
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Garvin Collins (former ES teacher and longtime JV baseball coach under Coach Hall) who passed away late last night. The entire Cardinal community is thinking of you guys right now!
