The first was because of the rich tradition of CHS, not just football and sports, but also because of the academic excellence. The Irish Community is close and is great. I had a friend Adell Means whose son Shiloh was playing here and I saw the benefit that Shiloh got from CHS and also the benefit of having student-athletes like Shiloh make CHS special. The football program is legendary and I wanted to be a part of it and after meeting with Coach Peebles who is one of three coaches I would want to coach with, it was a “no brainer” for me.
