Yates head football coach Rafael Thomas says he’s eager to return the program located in the Third Ward to its storied roots.
But new Yates head football coach Rafael Thomas says he’s eager to return to the program located in the Third Ward to its storied roots.“Yates had a streak of 38 straight appearances in the playoffs [from 1977-2014],” Thomas said. “Those are big shoes to fill, but I’ll walk in any shoes. I have no fear.”
“It’s not about Xs and Os and all that stuff,” Thomas said. “It’s about the lives you impact. That’s why we get into coaching.”And although Thomas isn’t from the inner-city, he said his time spent growing up in the blue-collar town of Lufkin allows him to relate to the struggles his players face on a daily basis.
Looking forward to this season, the Lions got off to a later start than most with offseason conditioning since Thomas wasn’t hired until halfway through the summer. Despite the fact that Thomas has been at Yates for less than a week, his players are already seeing the impact he is making with the program.
