“One of the first things Coach Dye told my mom when he was recruiting me was that if your son dedicates himself to what our plan is, I’ll make sure he leaves there with a degree. But he has to dedicate himself for what we have planned and what we try to provide these young men,” Thomas said during a recent visit to Dothan to take part in the K7Foundation Gridiron Golf Tournament.
“When I was about 12 or 13 years old, I was hanging around some kids my mom told me not to hang around and got in some trouble,” Thomas said. “Mr. Miley, who was a deacon at my church, he gave me a stern talking to along with a gentleman who became my probation officer. “When I went to school and trying to decide what I was going to do, that kind of just hit me,” Thomas said. “It was more of a calling than something I wanted to do.”“I’m screening pretty much for the judges,” Thomas said. “I also deal with custody cases for kids who are abused and neglected. I deal with kids with mental problems as far as assigning them to judges.”“I coached at St. Jude for about two years and then I got out of coaching when my wife was expecting our first kid,” Thomas said.
