Congratulations to Coach Joe Flynt for receiving this prestigious Award!!!
Coach Flynt is well deserving of this award. He was the first coach I had in football. Many a day have I spent listening to him call out drills, plays and defensive schemes at “Death Valley” (our name for the old practice field at MHS). He will always be a coach that I can say “I’m glad he was my coach”. He knows how to push student/players to give their all in everything whether it be the class room, football field , basketball court , baseball field, or running the “HILL”. Coach Flynt congratulations on receiving the“2017 Coach Roy Garcia Outstanding Coach Award.”
