Outlaws Assistant Coach, Tom Hughes, coached his last game for Enid today. After the game Hughes had this to say, “I want to thank Ed Corporal. He and I have known each other and coached with each other for a number of years. Working with him we set a few TBL records. And, I want to thank our guys for their hard work and determination. I wish them well for the remainder of the season and in their careers.
Hughes went on to say, “I have been coaching since 1975, and this has been the most difficult season I have been through. And, it wasn’t basketball. It was the little things we wanted, and needed, and didn’t get. I hope things get better for Ed and the players because we have a really nice team.
