I have been out of school 30 years this year. My highschool basketball coach started coaching at my school when I was in the 8th grade. The picture above is our basketball team my senior year. I am #21. Look how skinny I was. The other picture is me and Coach Pearson now. Look how gray he is and how much bigger I am. Well, my school no longer exists and Coach Pearson still coaches at another local highschool and this year makes 35 years of coaching. On March 6, we decided to get together as many girls and guys together that he ever coached at my high school and surprise him at his last boys basketball game. We had a good crowd to show up and boy was he surprised. We then had a get together after the game to honor him and just to tell him how much we appreciated him. It was great. He was shocked. It was so good just to see a lot of my classmates from so many different grades.
