Saw this picture tonight, and it hit me. I don’t talk about how proud of my own children enough. I guess I don’t want to make it harder on them, being a coaches kid. This guy made me proud to be his father this weekend at the state tournament.

Been a hard day. Hornet Nation lost a great friend that always had a smile! It’s never easy losing someone you love. 2014 Hornets will always be a special group. To all my former players you can always call!
Football is a game we love and pour so much into, but a game. On the third play tonight I saw something terrible and amazing at the time. A coach fell on the sidelines and two schools and communities came together. An AED and quick response made the difference.

Even if we do everything correct there will be some positive tests. Praying for 100% recoveries. The key is-do everything you can as a coach to make sure your players are safe in your hands. IT SHOULD be what you do all the time. ALWAYS keep the players best interest at heart!
I think some Saturday schools would love to have you right about now. 43yds NO BLOCK FOR THE WIN! Good! College goalposts still GOOD! Good from 50+ still good!!!

It’s a great day to be a Hornet! Getting a coffee and breakfast at the Azle McDonalds on the way to a home playoff game, and the random person in front of me at the drive through paid for it. 👊🏻 so I paid for the next one. Good sign, ALL IN.
The players that have used the old lockers know! 20 great years happened in those lockers, but it’s 2020. We needed more lockers, and can’t wait to see the players faces tomorrow. Day 1 is 12hrs away!

So proud of our team. 8-2 and playoff bound. Can’t say enough about their grit. 4 games in 17 days. 3 in the last 11. Rest and refocus. Gold ball hunting season starts Monday.

Don’t sleep on those Hornets! We have amazing kids, families, and support. That was on display this week. Best 1pt loss ever. Not a saying but a way of life Faith/Family/Football we focused on what’s important this week. That will not change.

Extremely proud of
@dane_dorris
he was selected top ten this year from his class. As a parent you always hope your child treats others with respect. I feel like this is an indication he has earned the respect of those that have taught him and have come to know him the last 4yrs.
Tough day, shocked, and my heart hurts.
@Carl_Anderson1
has made an impact on so many, and I am one of the many. You were a true friend. Going to miss our talks, phone calls, and conversations.
Awesome job!!! So proud of you. Been by my phone all afternoon. Wrestling back from a first round loss to 3rd might be the toughest, coolest, and baddest thing you have ever done!! STATE BABY!!!

Tomorrow we start the 2021 journey. Every team and year is special, and I can’t wait to see what this year teaches us. Enjoy every moment the ride is the fun part.

Today is one year post surgery.
@dane_dorris
so proud of how you have navigated the struggle and grind to get back. Can’t wait to see you back on the field. 14 days!
It doesn’t matter what year your players graduated. They are your kids for life. Praying for one on mine and his family tonight. I would ask for your prayers as well. Thank you.
It’s been a good ride. You have been in my truck the last 2 months. But it’s time to go in the garage for the next 4 months. We have work to do, see you 2022.
Tomorrow is the first day of 10-12 grade practice. It marks my 20th year in this profession. Still won’t be able to sleep before the 1st day. 6am won’t come early enough. Excited as ever!

This is probably my favorite night of the year. Every decision we make has the ability to impact these families. And these people are our people. Season 2022 has begun.

Someone once told me 90% of your time is spent with the 10%, and 10% is spent on the 90%. Love them all but these words are so true! Next year starts yr 11 as a head coach, love my job and 100% of them. Some just need more attention, love, and help than others.
It doesn’t matter what year your players graduated. They are your kids for life. Praying for one of mine and his family tonight. I would ask for your prayers as well. Thank you
Happy 18th Birthday to our first born. Dane Dorris.

Thank you for being you. You showed your mother and I how to love unconditionally. You have given us so much joy and we are proud of you. Keep it up son!

Today was a great day. Spring break was finally over, we got to see all our kids at school. It didn’t look like before spring break, but I could see those smiles behind the masks. Today, was a GREAT day to be a Hornet! We must continue to do our part everyday.
