A Catalina van rolled up to the Tuxon Chix. Football players, driven by Athletic Director Tim Bridges, seemed less interested in eating and more interested in being introduced to their new coach!
520 Sports Talk host Bill McCulloch had arrived early to set up a long table with microphones for a live remote to highlight the team. Then came the Top Gun moment—new head coach Virgil Henderson from the Class of ’87 arrived. At Catalina, Henderson had played both ways and was eager to meet some of the team.
The experienced coach shook hands and introduced himself to the players. After the boys had their fill of chicken tenders and fries, Henderson and Bridges sat down with the host for a live Facebook stream. (The host also competed for CHS and is a ’78 grad.)
The players patiently waited for their turn at the microphone. They listened closely to McCulloch, who shared some words of wisdom to help the team. Then, he asked questions on air, and the players gave straightforward answers. Be sure to support this Trojan team this fall!
