COACH SMITH

My husband is living his dream... ...for as long as I've known him, he's wanted nothing more than to coach basketball. He is head coach at Copper Hills High School in West Jordan and he loves every minute of it.
CHHS is a 5-A school, which means it is one of the biggest high schools in the state. Tonight was the first home game of the season, it was great to be back in the stands, cheering for the boys of Copper Hills...and their awesome coach!
He has a great coaching staff, the four of them manage three teams... sophomores, junior varsity and varsity teams. They practice every day for at least two hours and have games on average twice a week from November through March.
That definitely makes me a "basketball widow" but he is so happy doing what he does, I can't begrudge him all the time he is away and busy.
By the way, did I mention the outcome of tonight's game? Copper Hills: 57, Hillcrest: 41. Their season record is now 2-1. Way to go, Grizzlies!
