idgaf Report post Posted January 30, 2019 One of the truly good guys. I remember in weight training if you were talking to girls to long he would get his key, put it between his fingers and heard the miscreants back into the weight room at brisk walk. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Report post Posted January 30, 2019 Played for him back in the day - he was very inspiring. I was really hoping he and Dain would be there when my boys came through but they left right as Nick got to HS. RIP Coach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeardownAZ Report post Posted January 30, 2019 The guy set the bar for the entire state!! Blue Ridge football was something of legend when we were in high school. It would be great to see AIA or the Arizona sports community as a whole, take the time and really shine a spotlight on who and how he was. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trphyhntr Report post Posted January 30, 2019 I was fortunate, got to play for him when his kids were on the team. funnest years of my life. he was down with hunting and fishing too. he took me duck hunting on the rez when i was playing for him. i thought that was really cool. he drove his jeep cherokee down to the white river like it was a long travel baja 1000 rig. i took him bass fishing about a year ago after he was diagnosed, we hammered them. the last 4 years of his life were tough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He did have a really rough last few years!!!! As an opponent.......he never relinquished the death grip on an opponent, never gave them breathing room. This led to many a defeat before the game ever started as teams were just so intimdated by the program! Special teams were incredible.....you could count on at least one kickoff return or punt return!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trphyhntr Report post Posted January 30, 2019 1997 boys ranch vs BR for the championship was a great game. 2001 team was the GOAT though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZ8 Report post Posted January 30, 2019 I played varsity in '85, '86 and '87. I lined up opposite of Tim Landers. That boy destroyed me...everytime!...lmao. Sad to hear he passed away in the late '90s. Anyways....Moro beat us all 3 years! He built an incredible program. RIP 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
