Life of a Coach

Posted by Nancy Lou Henderson in Eternal Love | 2 comments

Frank, Scotty, and I only had a few days to settle into our new home, and then Frank had to get busy with his coaching duties. Our home was in town, which was great. If you stood on our front porch facing the road, there was a church across the street. On the right side of our home was a Daycare, and on the left side of our home was another house which happened to be our landlord’s house. The only immediate problem that we faced was we had to remind Scotty that the trees in our front yard were not his very own personal tinkling toilets. I thanked Frank daily for teaching him that. ...

Eye Catching Fun

Once the football season ended, Frank started coaching basketball and refereeing other basketball games when his team was not on the court playing. I think he loved refereeing as much as coaching, and he did not seem to mind running up and down the court. Sometimes Frank would make a call that did not suit the fans, but he did not let it bother him. When Frank’s basketball team was playing, Scotty and I were always in the stands watching, but if not, I helped out in the concession stand with Scotty by my side. Watching him referee games was an exciting experience too. I think that...

End of the school year was fast approaching, and soon, it would be summertime. Frank, Scotty, and I had looked at some homes on the weekends that were for sale. We liked living in Hubbard and had decided to stay a while if everything worked out, and we found a home in our price range. We loved the house we were living in, but it was not for sale because it was tied up in a will. So, we just kept looking. Before school was out, Frank and the head coach inventoried the equipment from all of the sports then they ordered what needed replacing. Frank would have only a few responsibilities in the...

All Tied Up Party

In March of 1978, it was time for Frank to renew his contract at Hubbard ISD. A new Head Coach came to Hubbard the previous year, and he adored Frank. The Head Coach had decided to take a coaching job in Bremond, Texas for the 1978- 79 school year, and he wanted Frank to go with him as the Defensive Line Coach. Leaving Hubbard, Texas and moving to Bremond, Texas, was a big decision for Frank to make. Frank and I talked about for several days. We had lots to consider, especially after buying a home. Frank decided to put in for the Head Coach at Hubbard, but with only three years of...

Bremond Here We Come

Hubbard schools had turned out for the Summer. Frank, Scotty, and I took a trip to Bremond to find a house to rent. We lucked out and found a home only a few blocks from downtown, and then we went back to Hubbard to begin the moving. Frank, Scotty, and I were excited to move to Bremond, which was mostly a Polish community. This community was known for its amazing Polish sausage. Since the towns of Hubbard and Bremond were only sixty miles apart, Frank and I did not rent a U-Haul truck for our move. We had a pickup truck and the Super Beetle that were loaded up and unloaded as we made...
