Shots and Thoughts: Coach Crutch
October 23, 2018
What’s Coach Ken Crutch up to these days? Crutch is an assistant varsity boys basketball coach, and works full-time for the FWCD plant operations staff. What does he enjoy doing on the weekends? Will he beat Merrick Decker ’19 in a game of PIG? All of your concerns will be addressed in this inaugural edition of Shots and Thoughts.

Wow, this was a great small interview you guys did. I know Coach Crutch personally. I’m the guy who he spoke about who still comes there to play with those older guys &played pro overseas. I just want you guys at that school to know how great of a man that you have in your presence.
Mr. Crutches has been an incredible example to many youth around the city. As the president & information director of his non-profit organization, (Men of Standard, Fort Worth chapter), I have watched him minister to adults as well as children, build relationships in the community, & even establish a rapport with the acting Mayor Mrs. Betsy Price as she has taken HIS advice on directions she should take in our community. I just felt that you should know the character of person that you are around. I, myself, was actually a coach a few years ago at your rival All Saints Episcopal. I must say though that having him as a part of your campus, is a real feather in the cap of your school. Consider yourself blessed to know this man, who is so humble that he would never boast anything of the sort (unless you get him to talk about hoops, then that’s another story altogether, lol). Thanks for reading.
