This place has gone way downhill. I've been loyal for a long time. May be time to just hang up the keyboard... No quitters.

I'm just tired of the lack of chatter, dipster. The creator of the site doesn't even show up...

Hey guys. Tons of respect for you Hitch. I bet you are a great physics teacher. I am also all sciences certified. When I went into admin some coaches intentionally only certified in PE or such to try to stay out of the classroom. Resentment toward coaches damages school culture. I was in one HS where the BEST teachers were coaches. (Science, math, history) and went to another where the coaching staff were the worst teachers. Hated working there.

I think when I went to school, the best and the worst teachers were coaches. Mostly best.

So some fun news in the land of the Bearcats. We have two coaches that are expecting children any moment, and the head guy has a tough tailed wife that just had 3 major surgeries in a fight against cancer. She is in the hospital and so he is sometimes here, sometimes there. One baby is induced tomorrow, and one is trying to push into the world today. Pray for them all please. And our coaching family. Head Fred's wife is doing great, btw. Might get to come home earlier than expected.

Thanks my friend. Coaching family gained a lil girl yesterday while we were out practicing. My wife and I get pretty excited about these kids since we don't have grands of our own yet. My oldest and his wife won't give in and stop popping em out for us. The other could be any day now, btw. Probably this weekend. Gonna be a boy.

Getting ready for this scrimmage tonight. Should be a fun one. Need some good. Found out that the first HC I worked for lost his wife to cancer. Kind of a punch in the gut.

If a coach is lucky, they are able to find a place that becomes like family. We all are a part of each others' highs, but we also share the lowest of the lows.

Have to backtrack a little, not being a regular I was assuming football, didn't read the post correctly. I will try to do better with the next post.
