Tom Earlywine began his teaching careerin Huntington County in English/Lit. He ranthe junior class play and published the schoolnewspaper too. He came to Mt. Vernon in1966 to teach Social Studies and coach Boy'sbasketball and track. He was athletic directorfor a while, although still teaching someclasses.

In '72, he went back to fulltime teachingand coaching, this time adding football to hisskills. 1980 saw him pick up girls basketball,which would eventually lead to some of hisproudest moments.

In the 1984-85 era, he started the girlssoftball program, still staying with footballand girls basketball.

"J had a lot of energy in those days, and Ienjoyed it," he said, adding, "Coaching isteaching."

When asked about the highlights ofteaching and coaching, he thought a long timeand finally said, "I've seen girls basketballplayers become doctors; I feel that [ lent littleto that however. Highlights would also be theteams advancing to semi-state and the girlsAllstars in 87-88."
