There comes a time in every Coach's career to move on. After much prayer and discussion, that time is here for the Reed family. Although we will leave behind some talented kids and many dear friends, we are making a move that is family based. It has been almost six years since Shad and I worked at the same school, and now with two kids, its definitely time to get back to that. Our boys will still spend their evenings following high school kids to various fields and gyms to cheer, but now, we will all be wearing the same color and supporting the same kids at all the events. It is bittersweet... The kids will no longer have commutes to the babysitter, or go to one town, then change t-shirts in the car while heading to another town on the same evening to watch a different team compete. My son will not have to ask me on the way to a game if he is a Tiger or a Bearcat anymore... now, we are all Lions. Shad and I will not be stretched as thinly as before, and we will be able to spend more time with our own kids then on the road trying to get somewhere with our "borrowed kids." We are so very grateful to all of those who have made our four years in North Texas full of memories. Our first year you helped us welcome Riley, then this past fall, you helped us welcome Kolden. We cannot imagine what it would have been like without your love and support. We have strong friendships that we will cherish. And just like in the moves before, we will still have former students come by for dinner, to babysit, or to stay a few nights and meet our new students and share a few stories. Although our hearts feel a little broken, we are very excited for the new adventure God has offered us. Thank you to all who made us feel at home, helped us welcome both of our precious boys, and trusted us to teach, coach, and lead your children. May God bless each of you and we will miss you.
GO LIONS!!!!
