Condolence From: Randy Lewallen

Condolence: I'm so very sorry for the passing of your Dad. I loved Coach Whit as a teacher, Coach and friend. It was my great pleasure to play for him and Coach Alexander and to play with you Freddy. My fondest memory was Coach Whit devising a play for me to go long down the middle for a pass from Randall Norton against North Hab. It was perfect for a 54 yard touchdown pass. I will never forget it and the smile on his face afterwards. He was a great Coach and more to those who knew him. He will be missed I know. God bless and comfort you all.#34,Randy
