Happy Easter! Some of us are ReTired and some ReWired, but we all love to share old coaching stories. Join us for our April ReWired Coaches Lunch. You will enjoy hearing from Rick Couri. See you Tuesday!

@coachklinck @zachlanebryan Man I wanna see this happen 💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪💯💯💯

Hey @zachlanebryan let me bring the gold ball on stage for “Revival” tonight!🤷🏽‍♂️

@teddyowens Stop sharing TRUTH! You’re preaching now! 💪💪💪🔥

Stop saying your son plays AAU. Your kid told you that you need to pay $350 so him and his buddies can make a mockery of the game. Got too many kids that run their house now.

D1 is a 𝘽𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜… D2 is a 𝘽𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜… D3 is a 𝘽𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜… NAIA is a 𝘽𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜… JUCO is a 𝘽𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜… Don’t let social media fool you. Find your fit & embrace it 💪

Yep

Sports make a great game - but a terrible God. Listen carefully if you’re an athlete… One day the season will end. One day the career will end. One day the applause will stop. If your identity is in the game, you’ll feel lost when the game is gone. But if your identity is in God, the game simply becomes a platform. Sports are meant to be played. They were never meant to be worshipped. Train hard. Compete with excellence. Honor God with your effort. But never forget: Your purpose is bigger than your performance. “You shall have no other gods before me.” {Exodus 20:3}

Blessed to be a part of 315 Voices!

Jesus didn’t die publicly and courageously for us to follow Him secretly and cowardly.

@Coach_Bostwick ONLY GOD! 💪

Blessed to defeat a very good 23 win Montana Tech squad tonight who beat D1 University of Montana this season. It was one of our best defensive efforts of the season. Only God! His Favor has back in the NAIA Sweet 16 for the 5th time since the NAIA went One Division 6 years ago.

Underrated coaching truth: The best coaches aren’t obsessed with talent. They’re obsessed with effort. With attitude. With toughness. Because when it gets hard, that’s what still shows up.

@ucoathletics @MIAA_Racy @UcoWrestling Congrats Coach! So well deserved! 💪💪💪

Our coach. @UcoWrestling x #RollChos

💣Bomb brothers! Luke Franks goes 2-2 with a dinger. Not to be outdone, Jack Gardner hits a nuke and a double! BA-16, Wagoner-2.

Happy birthday to Hall of Fame head football coach Gerald Blankenship, born on this day in 1927 in Spiro. Blankenship attended Spiro High School, playing basketball and helping the Bulldogs win back-to-back conference championships. In 1945, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and a month later left for the service, where he was stationed in San Francisco. When he returned, he enrolled at Eastern State College, joining brothers Derwin and Dwight. He played end on the football team and forward for the basketball team at EOSC, earning team captaincy on both teams. He then went to Northeastern State, where he again played football and basketball, being coached by legendary mentor Doc Wadley. Blankenship broke into coaching in 1952 at Vian, where that year's Wolverines were the first to field a football team since 1939. Notable was Blankenship's 1955 Vian basketball team that went 27-and-3. In the summer of 1955, Blankenship returned home to Spiro where he was hired as director of athletics. In fifteen seasons of guiding the Bulldogs, his football teams were 105-46-5, winning nine conference championships and making the playoffs five times, including the 1962 team that went 10-1-1 and advanced to the Class B semifinals. His 1966 Bulldog team went 9-and-1, allowed only 23 points all season and defeated Fort Smith St. Anne's -- the top ranked Class A team in Arkansas -- to end their 47-game win streak. Blankenship's basketball teams were 299-73, winning seven conference championships, nine district titles, two regionals and twice advancing to the state tournament. In 1970, Blankenship resigned as coach and athletic director to become high school principal at Spiro and later served as the school district's Superintendent until his retirement in 1987. Blankenship was a charter member of both the National High School Coaches Association and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He was inducted into the Oklahoma Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1972. He was the first in a long line of Blankenship players and coaches that include his son, Bill -- a Hall of Fame head coach himself with six high school state championships to his credit, another son Joe who was head coach at NOAH, another son Rex who played collegiately at Harvard University, grandsons Caleb and Adam who each went on to play Division I college football, and grandson Josh who not only played collegiately but has also been a head coach at Muskogee and Broken Arrow and is now assisting his dad Bill at Owasso. Gerald Blankenship passed away in 2014 at the age of 87. He was laid to rest in Fairview Cemetery in Panama, Oklahoma. Happy birthday Gerald! #tdfn #okpreps @Spiro_Bulldogs @VianHSFootball @BasketballSpiro @CoachBBlank @CoachJBlank

Any Oklahoma teams looking for a 7v7 this summer? HOLLA!

@CoachGreenOL Uhmmm yea - I watched it 👀play out to perfection every game of the season last year! Gold Ball Standard and now in hand! 🏆

Never been a script guy. Tried it and felt handcuffed. First play? Yes. After that? Nah. Let’s take advantage. I know I wanted to get certain guys “X” number of touches per game. Feeling the tempo of the game and adjusting based on their answers is always the way I go. I do it drive to drive.

So worth the RT! The greatest title in the world is “COACH.” Please don’t forget that!
