Putting off retirement
St. Paul, MN
His longest tenure in a single school district was the 33 years Paul Mork spent coaching football, baseball, basketball, cross-country and track, "in various combinations" as he puts it, at White Bear Lake and White Bear Mariner High Schools.
Mork decided to forgo his retirement this year to coach at New Life Academy of Woodbury. The coach led the first-year Eagles football program to a near .500 record... More

In His Defense
Fort Worth - Denton, Texas
In all honesty, winning the state title just kind of went back and reiterated what we thought beforehand – that you have to be good, but there has to be some luck and some timing along the way. We’ve had some really good teams here in the first nine years that had the ball bounced the right way for them on the right night, then maybe we could have had... More

How did Coach Lancaster bring up the idea of coming to Broken Arrow to you?
He and I went to college together at Tulsa. I was retired and had coached 43 years in mostly college and some in the USFL and NFL. I was retired and was starting to get bored and I was talking to him on the phone one day. He said, “I think I’m going to... More

From the Ground Up
Fort Worth - Denton, Texas
This is the only school I’ve ever coached at. This is my 26th year to be at the school and my 25th year to coach football. We started our football program the second year of school.
It was definitely a challenge. When we first started, we didn’t have anything. We didn’t have a locker room, much less a weight room. We didn’t have a field. We didn’t have a bus.... More

Bringing Back the Tradition
Central Oklahoma
I knew I would be a coach. I had an uncle that lived with us and when I was young he ended up being a coach and teacher, that’s when I realized that I wanted to be a coach, too.
I grew up in a small town, and sports happened. Everyone played everything. My dad always tried to help. I don’t ever remember him asking me if I wanted... More

Grill
Western Arkansas
VYPE: Winning four state titles in a row, has that changed your philosophy or routine in any way. And, do you feel pressure now?
Cheek: I haven’t changed my philosophy or coaching, but I do feel the pressure but mostly for the kids. They put pressure on themselves because they don’t want to be the team to break the stretch. After the 2005 state championship, that’s when they really... More

Newton’s Law
Central Indiana
He’s already secured one Class 5A state championship ring and thirsts for a second. And when Carmel High School quarterback Morgan Newton takes the field for the Greyhounds, he does so equipped with a Howitzer arm and a fullback’s lower-body strength. And intelligence. Don’t leave that out. The kid carries a 3.5 grade-point average.
And at an age where most teenagers sometimes travel great lengths to avoid those style-cramping... More

Houston, TX
Alief Taylor High School seems to get overlooked as one of the top Houston-area hotbeds for high school football players. Dallas Cowboy tight end Martellus Bennett put the Lion program on the national map four years ago, but ever since it’s been relatively quiet at the Alief school.
“We’ve got some athletes here and I really like our defense,” coach Trevor White smiled while watching two-a-days. “When you have... More
