**update: THEY WON! holy cow. they beat poth. this means that they play saturday night against new waverly to decide who goes to state. new waverly has already beat them twice this season, so we'll see what happens. woo hoo. my favorite man was PUMPED!
my favorite man has a passion for basketball. well, a passion for just about any sport, that is. this is his first year as a teacher and a coach and he is absolutely loving every minute of it. even the teaching part. of course, as all you teachers out there know, the TAKS part isn't much fun, but it's all part of it.
my favorite man is the 7th grade boys coach. this year he coached football, basketball, and now track and field. funny thing is that he is the distance runner coach for track. all of you who know my husband are probably snickering right now thinking of him with distance runners. i guess that makes more sense than him being with the sprinters, huh?
anyways, with those duties also comes being an assistant for the high school teams. right now, he's still the assistant for the varsity boys basketball team. (i get a good laugh at every game because he's the only white boy on the bench) they have made it to the regional tournament this weekend in austin. if they win 2 games this weekend, they go to state next weekend.
he is pumped. i am pumped for him. he loves it and i love that he loves it so much. it's truly his passion. wish them luck. the hearne eagles play the poth pirates friday night at 8:30. pray for them. pray for me because if they don't win, it's going to be a long weekend.
go eagles.
Oh my....how I relate!! My Coach is very passionate about what he does as well! Many times in the football stands, I've told the parents to pray for me if we lose...that it's going to be a long night when we get home! :o) I haven't asked you how you've adjusted to being a coach's widow this year? Their schedules are often rough on family life! BTW, my Coach said to have your Coach contact him..e-mail me and I'll tell you how!

Hey, our guys have something in common... allbeit on opposite ends. My man is a distinguished graduate of good ol' Hearne H.S. and played almost every sport while he was there. Like most of us, he doesn't like to talk about those days but if there are some "old timers" still coaching, they might just remember ol' Vinny. ;-)
ReplyDeletebecky ... it's been a difficult transition for me with david coaching this year. he is gone a lot and i'm not use to that. we should get together on game nights. :) i will have him email later tonight.
ReplyDeletealice, i'll have to get david to ask some of the old coaches if they remember him. i'm sure they do. i didn't know he was from hearne. that's where david grew up as well. interesting.
Go Eagles!!!
