Welcome to the 2022 Lewis and Clark Tiger football season. 

On behalf of the coaching staff, we welcome you to our football program and hope you appreciate and enjoy the efforts of our young men on and off the football field. 

As I enter my third year as head football coach, sixth season at Lewis and Clark High School, my 20th year as an educator, and my 18th year coaching high school football I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with your son and share my passion of the sport and help teach them the value of teamwork, effort, competitiveness, and humility. I am tremendously proud and energized by the hard work and effort of our athletes. I am honored to be in this position of leadership, excited by the amazingly talented coaching staff I am privileged to work with, and thankful for the assistance of a very supportive athletic director and principal. 

Each season we aim to be competitive at all levels of our program and embrace the challenges and opportunities of a very competitive Greater Spokane League. As a coaching staff we believe that football is the ultimate team sport which requires a myriad of different groups and individual roles for a successful season. As a coaching staff we recognize the importance of players embracing their individual roles on the team. Each player contributes uniquely to the success of a great football team. Tiger football players win together and lose together. As parents and fans, we hope that you may find a special role to support the LC football program. 

As a staff, we greatly value that our student athletes leave this program better than when they arrived. We recognize that while we are pursuing championships, we are creating lasting memories, and building enduring relationships with the next generation of citizens, employees, husbands, and fathers. Be patient and enjoy the journey as you support your Lewis and Clark Tiger Football Team. Win or lose, these young men are ours, please cheer and root for them as they experience the ups and downs of a football season. Thank you for your support. 

GO TIGERS!
