High school football coaches might have the most important job in any community and it’s overlooked. They set the culture for the largest group of young men in a school. If they build good men, not just wins, that ripple hits families, schools, and the whole community.
Thinking about this guy today. Can’t believe it’s been 10 years. Best Coach I ever played for. Was everything to our high school and community. Love you Pops! Rest easy big guy.
CATs get eliminated in the 2nd Round Regional LHSAA Playoff series to the #5 seed Benton. Team finishes the year with an overall record of 25-13 , 7-3 in District 2-5A , & 2-2 in the playoffs. Very grateful to our 10 seniors who have set the standard moving forward. #seRve

Always cool when former high school teammates meet at the next level. Ruston baseball products Cade Patterson (@LATechBSB) and Nick Robinson (@GramSt_Bsb) sharing a moment after last night's game. Think they were talking about the Bearcats' 13-game winning streak? @RustonBaseball@CadePatterson13@KNOE8
