End Zone Wives Podcast

In this episode, we visit with Gentry Staugh of Monahans HS.  Gentry went to HS in Monahans which is even more special now be there in this role as a HFC wife.  

In this episode, we discuss:

• West Texas football travel
• how motherhood changes as the kids get older
• the only thing you can control when your team is ranked

She also tells us how she feels about the playoffs as a coach's wife.  Gentry is also a board member for THSCWA and you must listen to her story on how she acquired the position.

She may be "medium-stitious" but she makes every effort to live in the moments without videoing everything.   She talks about how we as wives and coaches families live under a microscope.  We also all decided that there are 2 scales in which we grade how well we as CW know the game.
