Tuesday night at half time of the girls varsity girl basketball game the girls presented me with this T shirt for my 13 years of coaching high school football & basketball. All the varsity girls had signed it on the back. I'm also showing a photo of a quilt one my teams gave me several years ago when they went undefeated in basketball. I had 3 undefeated teams over the years, 2 in football & 1 in basketball. In later years I was coaching players whose parents had played for me years before. Makes you seem old!! Very satisfying though! Last night that same girls team, 2A division & defending state champions with a 35 game win streak knocked off a 6A team from Utah with an enrollment of over 2,000 students! We have 231 students & 2 will play college ball, the other 3 are juniors. Dick

What an honor, Dick! (Hope its ok to call you Dick...I have been reading your posts for a long time!) That is special..not because of the wins (which is impressive to be sure) but because of the respect and relationships built through that time! That is ALWAYS what is important! Well done, sir!

Congrats Dick!
For those that didn't catch it,, Soda Springs is a small town,, and for them to have such a successful team says a lot about both the players AND their coach!
True treasures there!
