As you may already know from the opening questions, it would have to be Leonard Good- son, “better known as Cove's number one fan. When the students were asked to describe him this is what they had to say, “I can remember him out on the football field with his knee high rubber boots on, keeping time for the football game.”—Kevin McBride. “An irreplacable asset to this school.”—Will Ryan. “He’s the type of guy that everyone looks up to.”—lan Hurley. “When an athlete feels like they’re on their own, he takes the feeling away and gives you confidence. He’d follow us to the end of the earth, if necessary.”—Pam Endi- cott. “1 think it is truly a special gift for our school to have a man so dedicated that he puts the success of our school’s athletics before his own personal needs.”—Dani Folson. “He’s the type of person that all the kids look up to for a word of encouragement. He’s always on the bus, no matter where the trip is, sitting on the rock hard seats, without a word of complaint.”—Russ Hafer. Everyone at the school feels the same way about Leonard Goodson. Things wouldn’t be the same if there weren't a Mr. Goodson to give a “Go get ’em before the game or a “Congratulations after a game. Leonard Goodson, the man behind the success of the Cove Leopards.
