From what I've read in the article I like the new coach.
He attends other sporting events, gets the football team to make a cheer tunnel for a girls team, and wants to really support not only the football team but all of Ellison.
I wish them the best.
In just over a month on campus, Gregory’s infused his energy and excitement into the program like an epinephrine needle.
“We want to create an excitement at Ellison High School that everyone can be a part of, and I think that’s beginning,” Gregory said.
Gregory has been a staple at nearly every athletic event Ellison has participated in since he was hired, attending both boys and girls playoff basketball games and even taking pictures with a couple of Lady Eagle medal winners at the UIL state wrestling championships Saturday at the Delco Center.
“Last time I checked, we’re in the kid business and it’s about the kids, it’s not about me,” Gregory said.
One afternoon earlier this month, as the Lady Eagles basketball team was preparing to load a chartered bus to their bi-district playoff game against DeSoto in Waco, Gregory had the idea to have his JV and varsity football players line up in “spirit lines” — creating a tunnel of excitement as the girls walked onto the bus.
