Radio Page #8
you look for a win...
...and Saturday morning
when you found one.
But that's not what's important
right now.
we're not thinking about.
The same young man who could
hardly talk when we first met him...
...and now he's making
announcements over the loudspeaker.
Same young man who got himself
a football letter last fall...
...but never wears it, because
he can't afford a jacket.
Now we're asking him to leave.
- Harold, we are not asking...
- The man's not done, Frank.
I know some of you don't know
or don't care...
...about all that Radio's learned
over these past few months.
Well, the truth is...
...we're not the ones
who've been teaching Radio.
Radio's the one been teaching us.
The way he treats us all the time...
...is the way we wish we treated
each other even part of the time.
I know something's gotta happen here.
I know some changes gotta be made.
And I know I can't let what happened
last season happen again.
So I've decided to step down
as head football coach.
See what you've done, Frank.
I'd like to keep teaching,
if that's all right.
I'll keep an eye on Radio,
make sure he stays out of trouble.
And I'd like to spend more time...
...with a few other folks
I've neglected over the years...
...while I still have a chance to.
Much as I love this game, it's not
half as important as setting that right.
That was a pretty good cup, Del.
- Thank y'all.
- Good night.
This what you wanted?
Is this worth it?
- That was a crazy idea.
- Weren't expecting that, were you?
I can't believe you're gonna stop
coaching football.
Found it. Under the mattress
with everything else.
All right.
You look great, Radio.
Thanks, Mary Helen.
- I'll see you out there.
- All right.
- There she go.
- Get your collar down.
You look good, now.
You look really good.
You know where we'll be, right?
All right.
- Do a good job. I'm awful proud of you.
- Okay, coach.
- There I go.
- Hey, Radio.
Oh, hey, Johnny, how you doing?
- I heard you got yourself a letter.
- Yeah, they gave me a letter.
Me and the boys thought you might
need something to put it on.
- That for Radio?
- Yeah.
- How you like that one?
- Looks good on you, man.
Thanks, Johnny. Thanks, Johnny.
Hey, congratulations, man...
...and thanks a lot.
Patricia Ann Yearwood.
Patricia Ann Yearwood.
Thanks, Radio. You're the best.
Thank you.
I would also like to extend
a special thank-you...
...to our honorary graduate...
Yeah, Radio! All right!
Who has decided to return
this coming fall...
...as an 11 th-grade student
at Hanna...
...where he will be welcome for
as many such years as he so chooses.
- You got your assistant coach back.
- Yes, we did.
In that moment,
my husband was prouder...
... than if his team had won
a state title.
Radio was now officially
a part of Hanna...
... and a part of our lives forever.
So if you're ever in Anderson on
a Friday in the fall, get there early.
You'll see the man
they call Radio...
... leading the Yellow Jackets
onto the field.
Radio's in his 50s now...
... and he's the most beloved coach
Hanna's ever had.
Coach Harold Jones.
Harold Jones?
He was recently inducted into the
South Carolina Coaches Hall of Fame.
He's retired from teaching but still
maintains his special friendship...
... with Hanna's favorite 11 th-grader.
Ready? Ready! Set!
Touchdown!
