Veteran EPHS Coach Bill McEnery featured on Channel 10 News

 In a segment on Channel 10 Sports TV, Sports Team 10 reporter Taylor Rocha featured a segment on veteran EPHS coach William “Bill” McEnery.  McEnery is a retired high school teacher but continues to volunteer as a coach, now entering his 51^st year as a Townie coach.  At age 73, McEnery has demonstrated that he is not “slowing down.”  He has also coached soccer and golf at EPHS and is always willing to lend a hand.  “I may be getting older, but the knowledge is the same,” McEnery told Taylor Rocha.  “The knowledge never disappears. They’re still kids and the skill levels are still the same skills," McEnery added on the Channel 10 report.

“On Sunday mornings: “He’s the first one in the gym," said Joe Andrade, Townie basketball head coach (Taylor Rocha report).  McEnery went on in the Taylor Rocha interview to say, “I will challenge a kid to shoot. We play for candy bars.  I sometimes think they’re thinking, what’s a 73-year-old man going to do?  I could be their great-grandfather. I could be with my age!”

The players are impressed with the coach’s skills.  “He really is proof that age is just a number,” is a feeling among the talented squad of teenagers.  “I’m just here to help," McEnery said. "I always tell them; I’m not getting paid to do this. So, my satisfaction is your development," McEnery said.  “He gives us his all and we try to show that back to him on the court," Trey Rezendes told Sports 10’s Taylor Rocha in her interview.
