In a bit of a surprise — but not really considering he interviewed for the job five years ago — James Morton is leaving as head coach of Monterey to take over the same position at Midland Lee.
The post is from the lovable George Watson at the Avalanche-Journal.
I'll be honest. I haven't been to a Monterey football game since I was playing and Plainview nailed us to the wall. My entire contribution to the team over two seasons was kicking off and going 0-1 on field goal attempts. I don't look back on such experiences with a great deal of sentimentality. If those are my glory days, I'm having a sad, sad life.
Morton was not coaching at MHS when I was there. But he's been doing a good job the past 10 years, and it was always nice to hear when we stomped Lubbock High again and beat Coronado more often than not. I liked the knowledge that someone was keeping the home fires burning. Hope the next coach keeps it going.
