He is the 11th head coach in LCHS school history and the first coach since 1985 that was a Louisa native.
Short brought along his senior players who have played their entire high school career. He explained how much this program meant to him and how it had influenced his life in so many ways.
He said that he might not remember his 11th grade social studies teacher, however he remembers every man who had ever coached him. This year makes 13 years that Short has been a teacher and a coach.
Coach Short explained his coaching goals, and how it pertains to off the field as much as when the boys are in uniform.
Two of his players Brayden Robertson and Trey Dotson spoke and it gave Rotarians an idea of what they are taking away from this experience. FAMILY, TEAM BEFORE SELF, RESPONSIBILITY and ACCOUNTABILITY are some of the words that are heard the most from Coach Short.
With that, The meeting was adjourned for the week.
