Walking with the King ✝️ Head Football Coach - Louisville High School @LouisvilleLepFB 5x National Champion, 2022 AFCA FCS Assistant COY
Louisville, OH
Joined May 2010
So proud of these Raiders for having a championship attitude and effort every day since last year's loss. It's not easy when 15-0 is the standard & expectation, but these ELITE men chose that challenge! So happy for the seniors who deserve to go out top! #Earned #TheMachine.

When your inner voice tells u “Man this sucks” or “it would be so much easier at another place” . This means you are AT THE RIGHT PLACE because you ARE BEING CHALLENGED 2 GROW!. God will never give you a task that you are not prepared to handle. Accept the challenge! FIGHT! GROW!.

Although the celebration has long been put behind us, it's very satisfying seeing our men get to wear the rings that they earned. Proud to be a part of one of the greatest programs in the history of football! Great job by our seniors and @Jostens on the ring design!
