From Ashley Carthcart: I remember my first day of high school and my first period was Coach Blount, he scared me a little because I didn't know what to expect, and as the year went on I got to know him and we had our discussions during class where we would talk about football games, family, the Dawgs, how his diet was going, just everything. I remember the day he found out he had cancer I was the only one in the class to ask him how he was feeling it was kind of sad really. Through all the sad times that have come this past month there is always those certain memories that make me laugh. One time when I was in his class he asked me to heat up his coffee so I got up and put it in the microwave, while it was heating up I wasn't paying attention and I accidently blew it up, oops! Then there was the day of the first football game WOW he went crazy, he was playing the fight song through the speakers it was definately one of those days where you are just lost for words to say. I loved Coach Blount, he was a very inspirational man and has influenced me a lot. On my letterman jacket I had his saying put on the back. To Mrs. Tina, Drew, Megan, Matt I'm so sorry for your loss I can't imagine how you feel. I hope to still see Drew at the games, carry on the Blount name. Coach Blount will always be a salem seminole. Even though he is gone everyone can say that he didn't leave this world without a fight, and all should be proud of him for that. -Ashley Cathcart.
