Jon Rhiddlehoover- Offensive Line/Deep Snap Specialist 
Jon was a 2 year college  All-American in football and track. He played pro football in Europe, and had several tryouts with various NFL teams.  At 6'5" and 285lbs, he can dunk a basketball flat footed and he can snap the ball back to the punter in a record time of 0.68 sec. That makes blocking a punt near impossible. Jon has earned the respect of his students and fellow coaches, thus taking on the nick name "Coach Hammer". Jon has now left high school coaching because of the political correctness.  Taking GOD out of the school system has cause a breakdown in classroom values allowing for so much chaos in the teaching jobs required by coaches. It just isn't worth 75K, a measly salary for assistant coaches. Jon is now much happier working for a cement contactor in the construction business. It is unfortunate to lose good coaches/teachers because our government and school administrators are so corrupt. It is such a shame for the State of Texas to lose so many good teachers and great coaches every year because OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS are so ill advised.
