Speakers praise coach as "father figure," urge support for high school program
Three speakers in the transcript offered emotional remarks praising their coach and urging continued support for their high school program, saying the coach served as a "father figure" and helped keep students in school.

The comments, recorded in a short sequence of remarks, emphasized mentoring and the speakers' personal ties to the program rather than proposals or formal requests. No motions, votes, or next steps were recorded in the transcript.

Speaker 1, a speaker identified only in the transcript, said, "I I it's great. It's great. I really can't put it into words. It's 1 of the greatest days of my life. It's, just tremendous honor, a great inner feeling, that all these people are coming back to share this night with me." Later in the sequence the same speaker said, "I love everybody that's involved with the program. I went to school here. I love this place. I've been here just about my whole life, and, I'd like to see it go on and and be a top notch high school. That would make me feel good."

Speaker 2, a speaker identified only in the transcript, praised the coach's support for players: "Yeah. I feel my coach. He's a great coach. He has been supporting me. And not just me, the whole team." The same speaker added, "I can't express the emotion I feel feel, playing for this team."

Speaker 3, a speaker identified only in the transcript, described the coach's role beyond athletics: "He focused on trying to make us become better men, you know, making sure, like, we do the right thing in life. You know what I'm saying? Like, he was kinda like a father figure to me, making sure we stay in school, do the right thing in school, on and off the field. He was a great person, and I love my time being here."

None of the recorded remarks proposed formal actions, budget requests, or specific follow-up; the transcript does not show speakers requesting votes or assigning staff tasks. The speakers repeatedly framed their comments as personal gratitude and a desire to see the school and program continue.
