They reflect on Coach Scott Parr's leadership, standout high school teams, the history behind Calallen's name, and the legacy of former Javelina greats. The episode also looks ahead to the return of the A&I name to Javelina Stadium and pays tribute to Refugio athlete Toya Jones, whose accomplishments left a lasting mark on Texas sports.

• Local Football History: Randy shares the story behind Calallen's name and recalls Gregory-Portland's successful 1971 season under coach Ray Akins, with Marty Akins at quarterback.

• Javelina Quarterback Legends: The conversation compares Randy Johnson, Gene Walkoviak and Carl Douglas, highlighting their different playing styles and Douglas's success as an All-American and professional football player.

• A&I Returns to the Stadium: A new A&I sign is being installed at Javelina Stadium near the Stanky statue, bringing a piece of the university's football identity back into view.

• Remembering Toya Jones: The hosts honor the Refugio athlete who excelled in high school sports, earned All-Southwest Conference recognition at Texas A&M, and won 17 UIL gold medals.

Grant Taeff winner - Mike Bass/Kim Blank Season 7 Episode 6

SHOW NOTES: Host Chris Doelle sits down with Mike Bass (Athletic Director at Alvin ISD) and Kim Blank (Head Girls Soccer Coach at Brazoswood High School) to discuss how athletic programs can extend their impact beyond competition through community service, character development, and servant leadership.

Featured Guests • Mike Bass – Athletic Director, Alvin ISD • Kim Blank – Head Girls Soccer Coach, Brazoswood High School ("Ladybugs")

Key Honors & Recognition • Alvin ISD – District of Distinction: Awarded through The Texas Way initiative for districts demonstrating outstanding character, leadership, sportsmanship, and community involvement. • Brazoswood Girls Soccer – Grant Teaff Beyond the Game Team Award: Recognizes sports teams that use their platform to serve others and make a lasting community impact.

Key Takeaways & Discussion Highlights • Coaching Beyond the Scoreboard: While winning games is exciting, a coach's primary mission is preparing student-athletes for life by building character, empathy, and a servant's heart. • Creating a Culture of Service: Community engagement cannot be a "one-and-done" activity; it requires intentional, consistent modeling from head coaches and athletic directors. • Student Buy-In & Ownership: Once a culture of service is established, student-athletes begin actively spotting needs in their community and bringing project ideas to their coaches. • Impact of The Texas Way: Developed alongside Stephen Mackey, THSCA, TGCA, and THSADA, The Texas Way promotes sportsmanship and integrity, resulting in a dramatic drop in coach, player, and fan ejections across participating districts. • Inter-District Collaboration: Mike Bass proposed partnering between Alvin ISD and Brazosport ISD to combine student-athlete efforts on joint community service projects.

Featured Impact Stories & Statistics • 15,000+ Service Hours: Alvin ISD student-athletes logged nearly 16,000 community service hours over the past year. • Ladybug Soccer Youth Night: Over the past nine years, Brazoswood Girls Soccer has raised over $40,000 for local youth experiencing hardship, including $8,000 raised this past season for a 9-year-old boy battling leukemia. • Wide-Ranging Service Projects: Student-athletes regularly volunteer at elementary school festivals, SPCA animal shelters, park cleanups, supply drives, and assist elderly residents with yard care and household needs.

Actionable Advice for Coaches 1. Lead by Example: Culture starts with leadership modeling passion for serving others. 2. Be Intentional & Consistent: Build service into your year-round routine so it becomes second nature to your athletes. 3. Leave It Better Than You Found It: Teach athletes to take pride in leaving facilities, schools, and communities better than they found them.
