Coach Marion Neill

[no-look]

Saw where he recently passed away. What a coach and man!  Two state championships at Broaddus

My dad was telling about this today. I believe he coached Terry Teagle on at least one of those state championships.

Both of them.  They went back to back in (I believe) Terry's sophomore and junior years.  Terry's son, Terry, Jr., was one of our summer kids and graduated this past year from Hightower. Great kid.

Coach Neill gave me my first opportunity in coaching, when he was the supt. at Broaddus. He was a mountain of a man that commanded respect without saying a word. His office was a shrine to the "Teagle Days" and I cherish the coaching stories that he shared with me from time to time. He ran a tight ship at Broaddus ISD and was loved and revered by the community.

R.I.P. Sir
