He came up & said coach what’s your name, I said you won’t remember me, told him my name & he told me he could never forget my last name, said your from Irving TX. & I played for him in 1999. 22 years ago. Either way he at least made feel like a little kid again!
@dallascowboys
My dad has passed away this morning...we are devasted to say the least. He has not been doing well but this was really unexpected. Thank you to those of who said a prayer for him! He is now in heaven with two grandchildren, parents, sister, brother, and family. I love you Dad!
Kolt and his teammates did it! I can not even express this feeling of happiness right now. A lot of hard work was put in to make this happen! So thankful to my kids & especially my wife she has sacrificed more than anyone in our family to share me & allow us to do this!

I am most proud of how he is “Off the Field”. He sponsored players from his brothers football team to attend football camp!
Quietly! No videos. No clout chasing. Just Doing!
I can’t wait to see his future!

It’s been a dream come true coaching at Irving HS, but at the end of the school year I will no longer be the HC at Irving HS. This a personal decision. I want the best for our students and Irving High School. Good Luck and God Bless! Go Tigers!

My son, Kane, would be 17 yrs old today. Not a day that goes by that I don’t think about what he would have been like...I know whatever he is doing today he is doing it with my Dad! I know they are preparing & waiting on the rest of us! John 14:1-4
Today my son Kane Christopher De La Torre would have been 16 yrs old, & would be with me & his brothers on the football field. Love & Live for the Lord. Be kind to others. Help those in need. Tell your parents/siblings/family you love them. God Bless!

I am going to be a vulnerable and share some feelings about me and me feelings surrounding my Dads death. He would want me to not hold this in asked me to better about expressing my feelings...I Love and Miss you Dad
Those of you who know me, you know my dad. Please pray for him. He is in critical condition in the ICU. He is currently sedated and fighting. He needs all the prayer warriors out there to lift him through this. Thank You 🙏🏼!
Some things are just meant to be...I am proud of this guy! He has started all year at Center for the Ryan Raiders and played his tail off! He’s just a Sophomore!
@SonsofRyan
Proud of our players, they are the best. Today is a new day, this will hurt forever. I am proud to be a Ryan Raider! I get to work with the best peers and principal in the land, truly family! Doing this with my sons...priceless! See you next year

I’ve always tried to tell my children and players that I love them as much as I can.
@Polocookslauren
needs love from everyone he can get. I have been at a loss for words all day for such a senless act of violence against his mother and brother. Devastated...Love you son!
I miss my Dad everyday, he has been gone 2 years now. Doesn’t get any easier, but it is better! The thing I miss most is he had my back 100%!
Love you!
Happy Anniversary to my Love, 21 years ago she made my dreams come true! The 1st time I saw her I told my friend I was going to marry her! We have been boyfriend and girlfriend for 28 years since then!

Just got through dropping
@KoltDeLaTorre
off! Always have had emotional talks w/my kids when dropping them off at college. Then while leaving I saw the Lumberjack, made me think of all the things I went through in college…I wasn’t ready. I know Kolt is, I am very proud of him!
This is our Valentine’s Day! She is off to work saving lives at her hospital! So dedicated she has a hotel room the next three days so she can still be at work. Me and Kolt will survive! I love you!

This young man exemplifies & set the standard on how to handle his recruitment. He has given no indication to anyone, and has dictated this process on his terms vs. the need to know now! Where ever the road goes you are getting an outstanding young man!
Can’t wait to hear!
Amidst all the activities of a playoff game and us having a serious injury to one of our players,

Mike Pearce sent me this today...from 1996. I was playing on one leg w/a Torn ACL. We lost this game keeping us from the playoffs, so I’ve never watched it. Nice hit...would have been fined today!
