Tammie, in case you didn't notice Mark's sons -- Drew, Jordan, Riley and Grant -- are all names of his sports heros. Mark graduated from GHS and started coaching in Weinert and now a coach in Midland and has taken his team to state several times. He's really accomplished a lot. Pretty good for an old Goree kid.
