My son played football and as soon as that was done he went into wrestling. He also found time to hold a part time job. He had talked of trying track but never did. I wish he had because I knew that high school lasts just a short time and then it's on to college. I would encourage any kid to play whatever sports he was interested in.

My son went to see him at home when he heard about it. That's how he affected the kids he coached it was about life after football also.

Thanks coach, he enjoyed being able to play in that game. Kind of a last high school game.

Thanks for the complements. He got stuck at nose guard for several games and seemed to be forgotten. After visiting Georgetown every school after that he was always comparing to them and they didn't measure up. The coaches and assistants we met had nothing but good things to say about the school.

He's 6' and around 225 lbs. He wrestled at 215. They are not sure if he'll play linebacker or Defensive end.

What was this? A popularity contest?

Collin Portman from North Oldham can play any sport he decides to try. Proud of the man he's become. When his younger brother came to live with us at 4 months Collin said he could have his room. He gets up early on school days and helps get his special needs brother ready for school. He puts him on the bus and then gets ready for school. Then goes to practice after school comes home does homework and then starts over again. Also works part time job. Never complains because he knows playing sports is a privilege.

44 and 69 carried the team this year both sides of the ball.

I've seen some bad calls this year but have to say it's a lot harder than it looks to call a game. It's easy to see from above and second guess. With that being said I saw at least 2 really bad calls at the Collins vs North Oldham game. One was the touchdown catch in the corner in front of the goal line and the other was a fumble recovery that was overturned after the players had left the field to change possession. The rest is just ticky tacky stuff.
