Well.... this probably wasn't where you planned on goining with this, but....

in 1988 all of us who didn't play Basketball were in an off-season conditioning program run by the HeadFBcoach and AD of Bridgeport, Coach Tommy Sloan (frmr. Knox City).

Well, we all went to the Bridgeport vs. Decatur (archrival) Basketball game and all the football guys raised pure hades! Yelling, being rude, cussing, fights outside, and then afterwards there was a big party... you get the picture.

The next day at school, Coach Sloan got us all in the weight room and the chewing commenced. The memorable part was how he started it...

"Everyone around our part of the country knows Bridgeport. Yeah, they know Bridgeport... 'cause we can cuss, and fight, and chew, and drink with the best of them!!!!" It kind of went downhill from there and we wound up running around till he got tired. *g*

Ahh, school days, school days, dear old golden rule days...

A former Caldwell coach went into the locker room at the half with the team trailing, 22-0, and said after staring red-faced out into space for a 10-minute pause: "Well, girls, if you play any harder out there, you might just break a nail." No one said a word as the silence grew deafening.
Final score: Caldwell 26, Bellville 22. True story....

Freshman game many years ago in Abilene:

Cooper coaches scheduled a game for their "C" team against a pretty good AA JV. The halftime score was something like 50-0, and the coaches speech to them at the half was "boys, we're gonna pull back and save the equipment". I think this is the same game that a manager was loading the bags on the top of the bus getting ready to come home and would up riding up there for about 30 miles until the players finally realized that thumping sound wasn't a flat tire, but the kid banging on the roof.

My senior year, Fall 2000, going into our game against Raymondville, Gene Kaspryzk who is Sintons Secondary and Baseball coach decided to talk to us. He said, "ive been there before, ive been to the show. and this is what its all about." (he pulled out 2 of his 3 state medals from baseball) "Now combined each of you have talent, and each of you know that. And you play like 11 men on the field. But I guarentee, when all 11 of you come together and decide that this is what you want(hold up medal) then they cannot compete with your synergy(force stronger than that which is added). Their 11 cannot beat our 11, or 13, or 20 if we all come together." Everyone walked quietly to the locker room that evening. And our music stayed off. That friday evening, we won our game to the tune of like 40 something to 14. Coach K, if you have never heard him speak, is a very intellectual and articulate man. He is inspirational. If you are ever in the Sinton area, go to a baseball or football practice, and meet him.

Post game huddle

Coach 1 says he has two words for the team, SHUT OUT (team screams)

Coach 2 says he has two words for the team, PERFECT SEASON (team screams)

Coach 3 says he has two words for the team, WHATA BURGER (team laughs)

Coaches still at this school are laughing still

My favorite story is about Lou Holts' team facing Oklahoma in the Citrus bowl as a very heavy underdog. Holts had them really hyped up to win....But at the last moment, he said, "Oklahoma is BIG, MEAN, and UGLY and the LAST ELEVEN out of this locker room- has to start! Reporters stated that when they saw the team tear out of the locker room laughing at the top of their lungs-they just had a feeling it was upset time! Arkansas smoked them that day...

HAHAHA all Wills Point Players from the last 5 years remembers:

Willis WHO? Willis Who? Willis Point AMERICA!!!!

It started when our head coach saw our name spelled wrong at one to many track meets and in one to many papers and Asked us if we wanted people to know our name or will it always be Willis Who? and it blew up into a continueing theme that we would say all the way through our last three years in the playoffs.

OOOOO and no one from last year will EVER forget: GO FOR THE BIG TIT!!

The best thing I ever heard a coach say at halftime (and it's much better if you could have heard it said) of our game against Mt.Vernon. It was a tight game and there was lots of position coaches meetings going on. Our head coach called the offense together to diagram a play. He was yelling the whole time he was talking and after he had everything drawn up he proceded to yell (verbatim) "Ya block his ass, ya block his ass, ya block his ass, and we score!!!" It was classic, especially with him wildly flailing his arms to demonstrate.
