Clark's coaching call divine
I have sat silently by and watched as this newspaper
has made several attempts to destroy the reputation of
Coach Bill Clark. I happen to know him better than
anyone; I am his wife.
As I write this response I am quite sure it will fall
on deaf ears because only negative comments about him
ever make the news. He and I truly believe that his
calling into coaching is of divine nature. He has a
true love for his players of all colors. Anyone that
knows my husband personally knows that these
allegations against him are nothing but false.
The problem is only people in Montgomery who do not
know us personally ever have a voice on this matter.
Get to know him, ask the people of Prattville about
him, talk to his players. You will then find out what
kind of man he really is.
He has received notes from players (both present and
past) calling him their second dad or the only dad
they've ever known. He has helped many of his players
receive jobs, scholarships, and has even given our
money to support them long after they have graduated
from Prattville. These are players of all colors.
I know what we believe. I know how we have raised our
own children in matters of racism. We can hold our
heads up high and know that we answer to a higher
authority, one much more important than the editor of
the Montgomery Advertiser.
