if you think you can, you can…

by Nina on December 29, 2008

Last night I had the pleasure of attending a dinner at the Centralia Country Club to watch my dad and his teammates from the 1974 football team get inducted into the Centralia Sports Hall of Fame!

This is my dad with one of his dad’s best friends…

The 1974 Centralia Orphans Football Team…

My dad is the one that looks the youngest (far right)… He wore Rock & Republic jeans with a blazer… Yep, he is uber-cool! I’m so proud!!

The last inductee was my dad’s high school basketball coach… Coach Jeff Carling. The picture below is of him giving his speech last night. It was one of the most entertaining speeches I’ve ever listened to!!

Below is a speech that Coach Carling is famous for… my dad has even read this to us at our dinner table a time or two. I must say he does a great impersonation but I was blown away to hear the man himself chant the words… it was as if we were in the locker room during half-time of a tied game! These words are powerful and true… enjoy!

Congratulations again, Dad!! We are so proud of you!
