My former Paris players have enjoyed commenting on an old picture of me and our QB, Cory Dumphord, that he posted on Facebook. I am very proud of those teams and the guys I was
blessed to coach.
Here is the message I sent to all of my former players:
Trosper and I have been working on scrapbooks since my Dad
passed away on October 1st. What you are looking at here is 40 years of
football, 1969 thru 2009. I started living with the digital collections finally
in 2010.
These scrapbooks go Boyle to Mercer to Paris to Mason. It even
has some KY-TN All Star stuff in there.
I just finished my 24th season as a head coach, almost a quarter
of
a century. 4 at Paris, 19 at Mason, and 1 at Mercer.
They will have to scrape me off the gamefield or practice field
someday. I am addicted to football, practice fields, Steeler Left, and 11 guys
running to the ball. I have been blessed beyond words to be with the players
and coaches in black, orange, blue & red. If any of you guys ever want to
come by a practice, workout , or game, I can promise you that your old coach
will be very happy to see you.
For what it is worth, this Thanksgiving, your old coach is
thankful for you. God Bless the old Greyhounds, Royals & Titans. - Coach
Buchanan
