#048. Coach Wayne Voorhees and I have a unique relationship. Wayne was the Head Football Coach at Legacy HS in 2016, and was looking to travel to California to play a football game. The organization he was connected to found me looking for a game the very same week, and we set up the contest. We had a great game, right down to the wire. Upon returning home after the trip, Coach Voorhees and the team were involved in a fatal bus crash that left the driver dead, and the staff very badly injured. After hearing about the crash, I was asked by a close friend if I wanted to go out to Boulder, Colorado and visit the coaching staff and their families. We did, and it's a trip I will never forget. Coach Voorhees and his coaches survived the crashed and are recovering to this day. Coach Voorhees has since moved on in his career to another high school. In this episode, he describes that fateful day.
Coach Voorhees has had many experiences during his football coaching career, and is an "expert" in opening schools. Listen to how a coach might get some much needed tips if he were to ever open a high school from a guy who has done it multiple times.
