Sport resigns as Bruins football coach
Jason Sport resigned on Thursday as the head varsity football coach of the Bartlesville Bruins and from his duties as assistant athletic director, the school announced Friday.
A search for Bartlesville High School’s next head football coach will begin immediately, the news release said.
Sport led the Bartlesville Bruins football program for three seasons. His combined record was 8-23.
Sport released the following statement:
"Being the Head Coach of your Bartlesville Bruins has been the privilege of a lifetime. I can't express my appreciation enough to Chuck McCauley, LaDonna Chancellor, Thad Dilbeck, and the Bartlesville School Board for the opportunity to represent this fine organization. It truly has been my family.
My wife Ruth and I will forever be grateful for every single person in this organization who made our lives better and fuller. I will miss so many things, but none more than the young men in the locker room. It was an honor to fight shoulder-to-shoulder with you and be a part of your lives both on and off the field.
Finally, to the wonderful people of Bartlesville and Bruin fans everywhere. I can't thank you enough for making this Bama boy feel right at home. I know there are great things ahead for this team, this town, and I'll continue to root like heck for the Bruins, and for you. I hope I represented your team with the grace and the character you all deserve. Fight On!"
