An End of An Era

I was sad today to learn in my local paper that Coach Hixson has resigned due to health problems. Coach Hixson was an assistant to the high school boys BB team when I was there. He took over as head coach 18 years ago. His record is incredible. Just the last 5 years, his teams went 117-21, winning the state title 2 years ago and no less than the semis over that period of time. He is also a good, decent man. I have respected him for many years. I can still remember being in 10th grade, taking his Health and Fitness class. Or playing wiffleball in the gym.

The Chickasaws will not be the same without him. I hope and pray that he recovers quickly.
