Bill Castle retires

52 years....wow

 

Talk about leaving some big shoes to fill!
Congrats coach!
Enjoy your retirement to the fullest!

 

Time to insert a Gator at that position.

 

My drivers ed coach in ‘81.

 

seriously!

 

Absolute legend.

 

I thought Ahmad Black was coaching there.

 

Wow, what a record - and 8 state titles! Historic.

 

...and at least one in every decade back to the 80's.

The level of consistency was astounding.

 

10-4! Hello 92, have not seen you post recently. may just be my own tardiness, anyway, Happy New-Year!

 

Happy new year back atcha'.

(...and probably not really 'your tardiness'--fresh out of extended stay in penalty box).

 

Another one...

 

Not sure... But we need another Gator friendly coach to replace that last one.

 

Lakeland High School football has had great teams over the years. Coach Bill Castle will surely be missed.

 

That school needs to hire another man like him. Another coach that likes to send his players to UF like Castle did.

It's great to see you posting here, Ray. Hope all is well in your life.

 

Ahmad is @ LHS... Haven't "heard" who will replace Coach Castle..

 

Quite an accomplishment. I don't know all the players from Lakeland High School that became Gators, but I do know of Wayne Peace and the Lakeland seven.
GO GATORS!!!!

 

Legend.
