There are some people who have a way of touching lives. For some reason they just have a way of crawling right into your heart and finding a way to stay there forever!! Coach Rhodes is definitely one of those people!! Everyone has to have a great memory of Coach Rhodes...or as we called him in high school...Coich!! His birthday was yesterday, so in honor of him, I want you to post your favorite Coach Rhodes story!!

I have tons but my very favorite is when I was having trouble clearing the bar when I was high jumping my freshman year. I had been pretty good in jr. high but for some reason just wasn't doing too good that year! He walked over to the pit to watch me and after seeing my knock the bar off several times, he finally crossed his arms and said, "Galligan, looks like you ate too many donuts over the summer!!!" Now if anyone else had said that, I probably would have been offended, but I knew that was coming straight from his heart!! :) I just love him!!!

Ok...now go to your blog and start digging in your memory bank...can't wait to read your stories!!!

I can remember Coach Rhodes being "IN LOVE" with Whitney Houston when were were in junior high!

Who can think of Friday night football in Childress without thinking of Coach Rhodes' abundant energy down on the sidelines? You can't help but to watch him and just smile. You may not be able to run 3 miles, but if he says he knows you can, you will find a way to do it!
