Coaches . . . A Special Thank-You Do we as students ever take any time to actually thank our coaches? Maybe so, but no words can ever express our gratitude for these teachers who devote so much to us. When you stop to think about it, wouldn’t you agree that coaches are the most patient people in the world? How else could they drag us out of bed at 5:00 a.m. to come to practice before school, or on Saturdays? And also spend hours after school just so we can practice. Our coaches become not only teachers but also very special friends. They give us so much of their time, and in exchange we’re expected to do our best possible. We’re not perfect, in fact we’re a long way from it, but as long as coaches give us so much and hold high expectations for us, we as students shall always attempt to do our utmost. So consider this a very, very special thank-you to all our coaches. Football coaches, assistant Will Mulroney. head Dan Mollaun, and assistant Dennis Flack try to predict the out-come of the Cougar’s next play. The Cougars lost this ballgame to Batesville.
