I played very, very briefly for the JV football team when Nick began his first season as an assistant coach. He was pretty darn good, drove players to do well and was serious.

My son played with Nick back in the early 90’s. High school and American Legion, they had some great teams.

Stickman; my son played baseball and football on the same Coeur d’Alene High teams as Nick, from 1994-96. P’haps are sons know each other?
