I doubt we see someone so dedicated to a school and community for a very long time. Truly an achievement.

Wow! I can't believe he actually retired! Coach Beale is one of those people that you just take for granted and assume they will be around forever! Great coach, even better man!

8 coaches between 1962-1980 and 1 ever since. That longevity was rare when he started, it's nigh-impossible in the modern era.

He was truly dedicated, but an ALL CAPS announcement??? Reallly?

Congrats Coach, enjoy your retirement! Well deserved for sure!
