I see people get after PJ Fleck on here fairly often - claim he’s fake, it’s all about him, etc. Dude just helped MINNESOTA win 11 games. Just because it’s not your style doesn’t mean it’s not great stuff. Do you. Great job by Fleck and Gopher football.
Tuesday, February 15, the Lonoke School Board voted and approved the hiring of Coach Chris Norton for the Head Varsity Football Coach/Athletic Director position in a special board meeting.
Not a shot at anyone, but important reminder as coaches we’re in the kid business. A “sky is falling” mentality about football/athletics/school/etc. in July isn’t going to help our young people. Lot of decisions to be made, lot of directions things could go. Be the steady voice.
1 of 1. As selfless a person as I’ve ever met, always looking out for the people he loved and the Perryville community. I am a better person for knowing him and will be forever grateful for the friendship we grew to share. Lots of lives he touched will ensure his memory lives on.
Excited to get started with
@StarCityDogs
football! Have always admired the commitment and investment the Star City community and SCSD have made in their kids. Honored to be part of that moving forward.

Great finish tonight in Perryville, America! Had to fight to finish one out, but sophomore Easton Walker hits the game winning field goal with 5 seconds left. Proud of
@PHSMustangFB
and their effort!
Never understood it. 🤷♂️ Our top two QBs are 3 sport guys. Our two deep at WR doesn’t have a single guy who did not participate in either basketball, baseball or track. Be a kid, do it all, and as coaches we should support them as they do it.
Hate we’re not getting to play tomorrow, but a lot to be excited about for
@LonokeFB
as we work toward ‘23 season. Talented young men returning, numbers up across every level of program 7th-12th, quality coaches on staff. We’re gonna keep getting better. 😉
