Statement from
the Head Coach
I
appreciate the opportunity to lead and direct the Gentry High School
football program. I am proud of my
staff and believe that they share my philosophy concerning football and
life. Our goal is to prepare our young
men for the challenges they will face in life, and hopefully, through our
example, prepare them to be quality husbands, fathers and citizens. We believe the game of football and its
physical struggles are a great tool for teaching these types of lessons. While everyone wants to see us win on the
scoreboard, we believe our first responsibility to our players is a good
moral example. Sound structure and
discipline will ultimately lead us to the scoreboard victories we all
want. I believe our staff and players were
committed to improving our program in 2009, and although our record was not
what we wanted, some major steps to improving the program were definitely
taken. Your support and encouragement
is greatly appreciated as we continue to strive for excellence and a
breakthrough season in 2010. Help us
make this time in these young men’s lives fun and memorable. Help us as we encourage them to “Be the
Best”
