2 Ts & a JG

Trosper, Jordan Gilbert, old coach, Tee Commodore

Excuse the ridiculous look on my face, but I was really excited to see these guys tonight.  Before there was a T or TD (Trosper) Buchanan, there was a Tee Commodore. Tee was an outstanding WR and DB on my Mason County teams from 1998 to 2001. He was Harry Lewis' back up at QB,,,, and when we put him in, he always did a great job. Jordan was  a great WR, DB & Kicker for us from 2007 through 2010.

Tee is now an assistant coach for the EKU men's basketball program. Jordan is an assistant basketball coach at Mercer County. I left that part out.... these guys could play some basketball as well and were very successful!

In the region semifinals tonight, we had a bunch of football guys on the floor. I appreciate coaches that support kids doing multiple sports and our basketball coach, Kurt Young, is one of those coaches.  It reminded me of when Kelly Wells coached Tee and when Chris O'Hearn coached Jordan.

Tee is #2 in Mason County Football history in  career interceptions.  Jordan is #2 in receiving yards. #1 in both categories is Chris Lofton. He was a pretty good basketball/football player also.

I am not crazy about getting old, but tonight was a great night to be an old coach because of these two guys!
