At our banquets I never bring up individual honors, only team rewards. This week our head football coach asked me to take out an ad in the football program. He said, "Put all your accomplishments on there."
Well I thought about it and, of course, I tried to make it a team accomplishment page. After all, I didn't win 240 games by myself. Not even close.
I relied on the coaching abilities of the following talented professionals who helped me: James Mills, Johnny Rome, Earl Incardona, Terry Joseph, Chris Mire, Donnie Diodene, Craig Perrier, Bill Calhoun, Kenny Montz, Troy Desentz, and Garrett McGovern.
How do you thank these men except to say, "You are Destrehan Baseball, and thanks for making it so dominant for 10 years."
I did make a program page and here it is . Enjoy it, it brought back great memories for me.
