EXTRA! A Good Friend Of NOAH Lands Big Job

EXTRA! A Good Friend Of NOAH Lands Big Job
Breaking:
    Former NOAH Football Camp Instructor, Bill Blankenship, is set to be hired as University of Tulsa's next Head Football Coach.

    Bill has done a lot for NOAH, particularly for the football program that his brother Joe Blankenship built "from the ground". When NOAH began football, Bill was head coach at nearby Union High School. His Redskins were reigning 6A state champs.

    NOAH was immediately granted the support of Union High School's Athletic Trainers and medical facilities. A privilege that continues to this day.

    Bill and his staff conducted football camps for NOAH when no other prep program would even acknowledge the legitimacy of homeschool varsity football.

    Bill Blankenship recommended his son Josh to be NOAH's first varsity offensive coordinator(2006). Josh later moved on to eventually become a 6A head coach for Muskogee High.
    When Bill joined the coaching staff at the University of Tulsa, He secured NOAH's participation in T.U's Todd Graham Football Camp, a premier training program for top varsity teams in Oklahoma. NOAH athletes were training with D1 coaches and developing into a top Oklahoma prep powerhouse.

Bill & Angie Blankenship
    Bill embodies the coaching philosophy that his family stands for; first in his father, who led his high school alma mater(Spiro) to state contention and is in the Oklahoma Coaches Hall of Fame.
    Bill and his brothers continue to honor that Christian ethic on and off the field.
    NOAH would like to be among the first and loudest to applaud T.U.'s selection to lead an already-booming athletic program.
    We expect this move to be beneficial to NOAH in the community and especially for athletes like former NOAH quarterback, Malachi Blankenship, who is currently on the T.U. football roster.
