The 2nd Annual KSAT Pigskin Classic will feature the Uvalde Coyotes taking on the Jefferson Mustangs during Saturday’s second game. Longtime San Antonio football coach and educator Daryl Hemphill is doing the honorary coin toss before kickoff and has a special bond and connection with both schools.
Daryl Hemphill has a difficult decision to make when two high school football teams take the field at one of the KSAT Pigskin Classic games.– The 2nd Annual KSAT Pigskin Classic, held on Friday and Saturday, will feature the Uvalde Coyotes taking on the Jefferson Mustangs during Saturday’s second game.
“Nothing ever prepares you. Sometimes you got to just be ready, be ready to help,” said Hemphill. “I went down a couple of days in May after the shooting, and it changed me. Until you put your feet in somebody else’s shoes, it’s just a whole different perspective.” “It was a humbling, rewarding experience. Six months of going down there and building relationships, establishing trust, getting kids to believe in education again, making teachers believe that they’re important,” said Hemphill.
Serving as principal was another first in a long line of them for Hemphill. He was the first Black quarterback at Jefferson High School and the first black varsity head football coach and athletics administrator at NISD.
