So sorry to read about the passing of Coach Anglin. I still have fond memories of the influence he had on a bunch of rough and tumble farm boys from Claude. I will always be proud of being able play on one of Claudes best ever teams. I doubt it would have happened without James Anglin. Im 64 now and realize how important the influence of just a few great men were on my life. Time sorts out the ones that you can relate back to. Rest In Peace, coach!

Coach Anglin was a fantastic math teacher and my basketball coach at Friona. I became a math teacher and basketball coach for the past 47 years and still teaching. I was so blessed to have him in in my life. He leaves a great legacy.

Coach Anglin was one of the greatest math teachers ever. He challenged all of his students to do their best either on the field or in the class. I am honored to have known him and his family.

Offering my deepest sympathy to Wade, Quanna and Travis for the loss of a great man. I lived across the street from you all for several years in Claude. Coach Anglin was a very significant role model during my formative years. Truly the embodiment of character. Wishing you all peace during this difficult time.
