Thank You Coach Day, for being a all around great teacher and coach.
WAY TO GO COACH DAY… WE AS NHS STUDENTS ARE PROUD OF YOU
I only know Sammy outside the school system and I can only believe the kind words here have to be true as I have always ranked him as top notch. I have always regarded Sammy, his immediate family and his extended family as the type of people who would do anything for you in a moments notice and enjoy being able to offer the help. Congratulations Sammy on all your accomplishments, your retirement and all your future endeavors. Hopefully you will find time to wet the hook a little more now
God Bless Coach Day!! EWHS Class of ‘82…You were my driver’s ed sub and homeroom teacher, and one other class I forget now! lol You are da bomb Coach!!
If any coach deserves to be honored, it’s coach Day. I and many of my friends and family have known him for many years. He is and has always been and kind and patient man even after teaching and coaching my and my cousin (Brandon Phillips) and our many friends. After that, I have no idea how he had any kindness or patience left but he always did. I’m sorry that I missed it. I would have loved to have been there. Keep doing what you do Coach. I’m sure there are still heathens and hooligans like we were that could use you guildance.
This man has done what many future educational staff should strive for……..”YOUR SIMPLY THE BEST” Coach …….NICE JOB!!!!
Congratulations Coach Day on all your accomplishments. Thank you for the mentorship, guidance, and support throughout my tenure at Northview and afterwards. Your a great man, wonderful Coach, and you will be truly missed at the end of this year.
