Tracking Down the "Do It For God's Glory" Hunks

These three superlative examples of hunkitude are apparently basketball players.  My only clues to their home base are: a dark blue and white color motif, "Do It For God's Glory" on the gym wall, part of a team logo, and the name "Coach Hancock."

















1. I keyed "For God's Glory" and "Coach Hancock" into Google, and came up with a twitter post, where someone named Marquis Williams congratulates Coach Hancock and Jaelin D. Campbell by saying "To God be the Glory.  #GodsPlan."

Hancock #1, a "Husband, Father, Coach, and Teacher," is the coach for the Cougars at College Station High School in Texas.  He also runs a Church Planting blog, with posts like "How to be a growing coach."  One assumes that he does a lot of witnessing to his team.

The team does have a black and purple motif.







But can a public high school really have a fundamentalist Christian slogan on the wall of its gym?

Besides, the gym doesn't look like that.

2. The next Coach Hancock is at Springfield Catholic High School.  He recently retired after 37 seasons of coaching and a spot in Missouri Coaching Hall of Fame.  When he left, he said "The fingerprint of God is all over this move."

 But their team is the Fighting Irish, with a green motif.











He was previously coach of the Branson, Missouri High School Pirates, but they have a blue motif.





















3. No religious talk on the twitter feed of Coach Hancock of the Wyoming, Ohio Cowboys.  Plus their mascot is a cowboy or a horseshoe, with a blue motif.











4. More "Glory to God" rhetoric comes from Coach Hancock of Manvel High School in Manvel, Texas, a suburb of Houston.  He belongs to the New Hope church, and retweets a post of a boy who "just surrendered to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."  But he also advises "Keep ballin, big dawg."  Go figure.

Here are the junior varsity powerlifters.   Dark purple and orange motif.  Mascot is a maverick horse.  This could be the one.











5.  The only other high school Coach Hancock I could find works at Columbia High School,  Huntsville, Alabama.  No religious talk on his tweets, but leave it to Alabama to allow a fundamentalist Christian slogan on the gym wall. Except their mascot is a red hawk.














My conclusion: Manvel, Texas, a town of 3,000, with the motto "City on the Rise."

Where proselytization by teachers and coaches in public school is perfectly acceptable. 

But on the plus side, they have a water polo team.
