Call it the case of the red-faced
coach.
Richland High School’s boys bas-
ketball coach Ken West didn’t know
it at the time, but when his Rebels
defeated Shreveport (La.) Wood-
lawn Nov. 30 in an Arlington tour-
nament, he reached a career mile-
stone .
The victory was the 600th of
West’s 28-year coaching career,
which has included stints at four
Texas high schools.
After the Richland-Woodlawn
game, however, West wasn’t think-
ing about round numbers or auto-
biographies. He wasn’t even aware
of his 600th. West was instead
miffed because two of his players
were late getting to the locker room
for his po st-game lecture.
“Well, they finally walk in and I
proceeded to chew them out good
and proper,” said West. He had
barely begun his tirade when in
walked assistant coach Pat Pruitt.
Pruitt told West there were two
men outside wanting to talk to him.
West walked outside and was
greeted by a throng of players’
parents and boosters. They gave
him an ovation and presented him a
basketball with “600” inscribed on
it. He then knew why the two
players had been late. They had
been getting the celebration orga-
nized.
“Some of the kids had been
counting my wins off,” West said.
West got his first coaching victory
at Paducah, where he coached boys
and girls teams for five years. One
of his players from Paducah is
Beverly (Tobias) Simmons, mother
of Grapevine senior guard Bradley
Simmons, an all-District 4A-3 selec-
tion last year.
West also met his wife, Carol,
while at Paducah.
“She came out for basketball, but
She was born June 6, 1904 in Locus
Grove, Arkansas. She married

quit,” West said. “But her sister,
Linda, played for me and I got to
know Carol through her.”
After Paducah, West coached at
Childress for 11 years and Wichita
Falls Rider for three years before
coming to Richland. West, who is in
his ninth year at Richland, has
coached 18 district championship
teams.
“It was easier back in the old
days to win,” said West, 52. “All
you had to do back then was throw
out the ball and get them to play a
little basketball. Now it’s a lot
tougher. The game has speeded up
much more.”

No Snow...
(Cont. From P. 1)
Day when nature’s mantle of
white decorates trees and
shrubs until the countryside
looks as though a Christmas
card artist had painted it.
Ten degrees continues to be
the coldest temperature for this
autumn. (Winter did not offi-
cially begin until Dec. 21.)
Whether this broke a record for
Dec. 2 and 13, when these low
readings were recorded at the
local NWS substation, this re-
porter and NWS official coop-
erative observer can say that it
did as far as last December was

On those two days, the mini-
mum was 33 and 40 degrees,
respectively, but in 1983 the
month’s low as a minus 1
degree. That came as a part of
the 10 inches of snow that fell
from Dec. 16 through Dec. 29.
Two inches of snow was on the
ground on Christmas.
Presstime deadline prevented
a further look back into the
records.
