“I want to congratulate Ferris High School on hiring Billy Newman as their new football coach and winning their first game. I wish them and all high school football teams in eastern Washington a great season.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Ferris High School’s football team for naming a new head coach, Billy Newman, and I congratulate them on their first win of the season on Friday. Billy Newman brings more than two decades of coaching experience and strong ties to the Spokane community. I remember him as a standout football player for Washington State University, and I appreciated Coach Newman when he coached my son in AAU basketball. Billy’s appointment reflects Ferris High School’s commitment to strengthening its football program through character development and meaningful partnership with students, staff, and the broader community. Billy said upon becoming the coach: ``This football program will be built on school and community pride. It is an honor to represent our school, our families. . . .’’ I wish the Saxons and all the high school football teams of eastern Washington success as they take on what looks to be a great football season. I wish good luck to the players, coaches, and the entire family, and, once again, I congratulate Coach Newman and the Ferris boys’ football team on that first win of the season. Honoring Life and Legacy of Dr. Charles ``Charlie’’ Robert Wolfe”
