Let’s all help Coach Sizemore

Friends, relatives, Southaven students and parents: we were recently informed that the coach of a State Championship powerlifter will not receive a ring for their efforts, just the athlete since school funds cannot not be used for purposes other than student use.

To help out Coach Sizemore we are setting up this “Go Fund Me” account to see if we can’t get some support for our coach!

As a coach he sacrifices a lot of time and puts a lot into these kids. Below are listed the hours he spends as a coach of two sports.

Football:

    ◦    MTW after school until at least 6 during the season

    ◦    Thursday walk through. Leave almost on time

    ◦    Freshmen/JV games Monday start immediately after varsity practice and last until 8:30ish

    ◦    Varsity games Friday. Get home midnight or later

    ◦    Film study Sunday 1-5 or 6 pm

    ◦    Practice ~3 hours on Labor Day and over fall break

    ◦    After school spring ball 4 weeks in the spring

    ◦    3 hours a day 4 days a week in the summer

Powerlifting:

    ◦    Practice 3 days a week, some lift during school some lift after for about an hour after

    ◦    Practice over winter break, spring break, and summer 2-3 days a week

    ◦    All meets last from around 9am-3pm. Some are 20 minutes away. Some are 3 hours away. All are on Saturdays during the Spring. The state meet lasts from 8 am to 8 or 9 pm and takes 2 days to get through both boys and girls.

He gives rides to and from practice regularly. He mentors, counsels, and leads by example. Many athletes see him as a favorite coach because he works them hard and has high expectations but will also goof off and let them be them.

If any extra funds exist they will go towards a rogue scout reverse hyper, upgraded single ply suits, and team apparel. See what you can do to support Southaven athletics!
