In the south, football is king! From little league all the way to the professional ranks the game molds thousands of young men. To us, It's not just a sport, it's a way of life!

Lifetime legends are made on the gridiron and perhaps none are more prevalent than the coaches that help mold our boys into men. Go to any town in the South and I can almost guarantee you that one of the most famous characters there will be the high school football coach! He usually holds the respect of the whole community both young and old because his impact has spanned across generations! He has cared for and guided the sons of the community during and after their playing days and that makes him a staple in the area.

Today we share one of our high school ball coaches, Bo Barton! Coach Barton has garnered praise and adoration throughout Northeast Louisiana for his uncanny ability to come in and turn around programs that were once thought to be lost causes! Our alma mater, Rayville High School, was the site of one of the most storied turnarounds in the state. A decade of winning seasons, a handful of big time college and NFL players and thousands of lives impacted can only slightly explain what he was able to do during his tenure as a Hornet!

Tune in as Barton gives us an in depth look at his life as an old ball coach in the great state of Louisiana. Watch as we relive some of the struggles and triumphs involved in setting a winning culture in our community. Listen as we dive into what makes him tick and how adversity has played a role in building him into a Champion! Please like, share, comment and enjoy!
