Darrin Mathews is heading down the home stretch of a lifetime of helping take care of our Youth. The Athletic Director position in High School 🏫 is treated very much like the weather man 👨 or lady 👩.
The weather reporter is right 95% of the time without anyone noticing. But the other 5%, when they don’t hit the mark, people tend to pounce on them.
Let’s switch back to the Athletic Director. The AD has to be so many things for so many people and when Mother Nature rears her head the job becomes borderline impossible.
Nobody wants to show Love 💘 to their AD. But let there be an issue with a Bus 🚌 or the rescheduling of a game that doesn’t line up perfectly to fit everyone’s needs people are ready to throw stones at the AD’s door.
I have spent four full decades in the offices 🏢 and on the fields with AD’s and the story remains the same across the board.
Darrin Mathews has been nothing but kind to me for three years now and for that I’m grateful 🙏. To show our appreciation to this fine man 👨 we have set aside a Table for him and the first piece of business after Glenn Burnett speaks will be to present Darrin with a Gold Watch ⌚.
Why would I take a part of our Big Day to show appreciation for our AD ? That’s an easy one, because I can and he deserves it.
