Great news coach.  Drove through Corning for the first time in a long time on my way to St. Louis this past weekend and thought of you.  As a Walnut Ridge bobcat recall many of the games against the Corning bobcats.  We talked about it before the Greenbrier-Vilonia game a couple of years ago.

The Battle of the Bobcat's, Corning vs Walnut Ridge , there were some great games between those two schools, remember going back to Corning and having to drive by the Polar Freeze, always a crowd there.....Coach Bill Hughes is a good friend of mine, know he drove all the way from Mountain Home to be at one of my many surgeries a few years back, I was checking in at Baptist Hospital in LR  at 5:30 in the morning and looker around and there he was, he is a "special"  person and was a great coach , words cannot how much I thank of him....

bobcat81

Coach Hughes was my coach.  Yes, a special person.  It's interesting you mention the Polar Freeze.  My mother still lives just about three blocks from there and each time we're visiting we have to go there.  My girls also have become hooked and request to go there even before I mention it.

Hey coach, I haven't seen you in several years but I hope you continue to improve.  Played for you on the 04 team.  You touched a lot of peoples lives and helped to make them good men.  I speak for all of us from the 04 state team, thank you for all that you did and you will always be in our prayers.  Hopefully, I will see you soon watching the jackets.   

"RUN IT AGAIN!!"    D. C.
When I read this I laughed out loud......I was lucky enough to have two sons play for ''THE GENERAL''.......and I also was fortunate to be on the sidelines all the time Coach was in Wynne........I heard lots of sayings and quotes from Coach and kinda took him for granted. He was one of the best in the state and he was in Wynne and we were better for it. My oldest son played for Coach in ''96'' ''97'' and ''98''. My youngest was lucky enough to play on the 2001 team and see us win State that year, but as fate would have it neither one played on the ''99'' and ''2000'' teams which I still say were two of the best teams I had ever seen on a football field.......both losing out in the 3rd round to Alma and Hope and I think they both went on to win state too. My oldest came in one day and as usual I asked him how practice had gone since I couldn't make it by to watch them that day......( some days you could count as many as 80 cars parked and watching the JACKETS practice ). He said it was ok but they had run a play a bunch that day .....he said he had run that play for six years since the 7th grade.....''I know what and where everyone's blocking assignment is and can do it in my sleep''. I said ''what was the problem then'' and he said ''when we ran it about 6 or 7 times I asked some guys in the huddle how many times we had run it and everyone said the same....so I started counting and we ran it 22 more times''. After running it over and over and over either someone wasn't blocking the right guy or the guard wasn't pulling fast enough or the back was to deep in the backfield.........Coach would say the same thing.....''RUN IT AGAIN''!!!!!!  Finally my son said ( and he doesn't embellish as much as I do) ,  Coach said, '' forget it you dumbheads we will run again tomorrow till we get it right '',and they did and they did get it right. Coach I enjoyed seeing you and Chris Friday nite and you looked great.......Cancer had no idea what it was doing by coming to your front door. Hope you can come back to the CF game this week so you can set up in the pressbox and eat some of Chris Y's burnt popcorn........HAHA

       Really enjoyed reading this old quote again, we did make them run plays until I thought they ran it like it was supposed to be run, always have said there is a lot of difference between running a play and executing a play....If I could say one thing that made it good,  it was reps, we didn't have many plays but they knew what everyone was supposed to do...
      It has eight years since I retired, still miss those Friday nights and calling plays, plus being around the kids and coaches, a special time in my life...The last eight years have been tough,  battling cancer and two rounds of chemo plus seven operations ,   I am lucky and blessed to still me here, they survival rate for stage four colon cancer is 6%, and I am blessed to be in that group , guess the "Good Lord" is still not finished we me...
Still in touch with my kids,  mailed some DVD's today to a young man who played on the 2001 team at Wynne, that is what coaching is all about, trying to making a difference in the lives of the  young men you coach...
     We have a great game but we teach more than football, we teach life and the lessons we learn out there on that field can stay with you all your life, people can't make it in this world today without "discipline", the world will eat them up...The work ethic and commitment we demand from our players is  essential,  one of my favorite quotes was "THE THINGS IN THIS LIFE, THAT MEANS THE MOST TO YOU AND THE THINGS YOUR HAVE TO WORK THE HARDEST FOR"....

Thanks for those Words General and We are Proud to have played against you nearly 30 years ago.
