Reminisces – Jim Burgoyne, ’59

In the years I’ve coached football at Castle Rock, I’ve tried to pass on to the young players the same values taught to me by Coach Lebaron. Be a good student, person, and citizen. Treat your teachers, fellow students, and opponents with respect.

As far as being a role model for his players, I wonder how many hall-of-fame basketball coaches can say they never had a technical foul called on themselves or never uttered a curse word in front of their players.

Coach not only talked the talk, he walked the walk. He was a true living example.

Coach may be gone now, but what he taught us is alive and doing well!
