Thomas says the school s athletic success and his own enthusiasm will not change.  I really do love it here. We have a great administration, from our superintendent s office to our high school principal to our athletic director  these are just great guys. We have a great football staff, and we have coaches in other sports who are good people to work with. <br>Is there a concern that the athletes will get complacent about their success?  No, not with the coaches we have at this school, says Thomas.  With football we will have 17 kids on next year s team who either started for us or who played a ton of football for us, and there s a natural tendency for players to think they can just show up. We will certainly make our kids understand that s not the case, and I can assure you the other coaches at Garrett High School will do the same. <br>Being at the top of his field at a school that is enjoying tremendous success and pride, Andy Thomas has some insight to offer to anyone interested in emulating his success:  I ve only been coaching for 10 years, but I ve heard all the stories of the guys that I ve worked with about the way things used to be. I think that one thing is true, and that is kids not only need discipline but deep down they want discipline. The
