Coaches
Welcome to Red Mountain Football! Our obligation is to make playing football at Red Mountain High School the most worthwhile experience it can possibly be for the athletes who choose to come out. Every single individual who commits to this team will have the choice, chance, and opportunity to contribute in a positive manner.
We, as a coaching staff, will provide Red Mountain High School with the best football team possible within the rules and parameters set forth by the school, district, and the AIA. We will operate our program according to the spirit AND the letter of the law. We want to win every game we play, but we will make it abundantly clear we will not compromise our integrity nor our values.
Our goal will be to graduate 100% of our athletes and win the state championship. But winning the state championship is not the most important thing we seek. Part of that "worthwhile experience" will be dealing with adversity and understanding what happens when you lose and how to deal with it. We will strive to make the football experience something athletes can apply to their professional careers and family life. We want the lessons learned at Red Mountain High School to be with our student athletes long after football is over.
When dedicated people work hard, toil to be disciplined, commit to excellence, and truly be the right kind of people then the byproduct is togetherness and a caring for one another. At Red Mountain High School, we will care for our teammates, our school, our community and put only God and family above that!
