Emory D. Bellard

I was in Junior High when Coach Ballard went 3 years undefeated at Ingleside High, he was my health teacher and was always doodling with x and o's. All of us young guys would always attend his practices and we totally respected this man. He came to our class reunion a year or two before he passed away and for him to come to little old class B ingleside was a big honor for us and I'm sure he felt the same way as he got his start in Alice and Ingleside. It doesn't get any better than Coach...

I have waited to submit this because of the emotion and wonderful memories going back to 1951-1952.
Coach made a lifelong impression on this 85 year old
Man, and can honestly say one of the finest
Christian men I have known.
I played in Alice tx had a weak knee. Coach would
Drive me to the UT trainer Medina and get treatment so I could play Friday (of course we stopped for barbecue at Luling)
Remember getting on that bus weighing 165 lbs
And arriving at...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
