Condolences to the Father Ryan and Bateman Family

[dabacoach]

A Father Ryan great Tommy Bateman passed this morning from complications of a massive stroke last Thursday. My prayers go out to his family and the Father Ryan community. He and his son were the first father-son duo to win a state championship in football and wrestling. He was a mentor to so many both players and coaches.

 

R.I.P Coach Bateman and my friend Tommy. He will be missed.

Is this the same Tom Bateman that worked at AG Edwards?

He was one of the best and toughest linebackers to play in the 70's.
