Bulldogs new head coach brings longtime assistant with him

Howe's new Offensive Line Coach Billy McCormack has been with Howe's newest Head Coach Bill Jehling for five seasons and three different teams The two will spend their sixth season together as Howe Bulldogs

McCormack is a native of Cushing, Texas where he lived the small town life graduating from Cushing High before entering the U S Marine Corps Upon returning, he worked for his father on the family farm for more than 20 years But at the age of 50, he decided he wanted to get into the teaching field

"When my dad had a heart attack and had to have a valve replaced, he couldn't work as much so I ran everything for a couple of years I got to thinking about retirement and had been going to college so I just went back and finished " The move to teaching was partly because of the retirement benefits and the fact that they had their youngest son just days before his wife Jerry turned 40-years-old

"We had cows and land and things like that, but I just told her that we'd have insurance," said McCormack

McCormack finished his studies at Stephen F Austin University where his wife was a professor She now is with Tyler Junior College and LCS Kingwood College teaching online classes

McCormack finished his degree in the field of physics and astronomy and was about to take a job at Henderson teaching But upon taking his son to eighth-grade football practice he was approached by Mike Thomas the Cushing head coach who told him that they needed a physics and math teacher and wanted him to coach with him page 7 howeenterprise.com

His experience as a long-time business leader and civic leader in Howe gives younger leaders a great snapshot of the city’s past whether it be from a business climate or a government directional experience

Baker grew up in Konawa, Oklahoma, a population smaller than Howe He and his twin brother Bobby were raised by his grandparents as his mother died when the boys were 18 months old It was there in Konawa that he grew up knowing a girl named Virginia Lee Barker that would eventually subtract the “r” to become his wife of 52 years He first knew her when he was a paperboy with two routes where her home was on his path After high school, she went to East Central Oklahoma University and he went to the U S Army and is a Korean War veteran As a 12-year veteran of the military, he took a bootstrap air conditioning course and began work in that field once his service was completed

“I went to work for $1 28 an hour which was minimum wage,” said Baker who got his first job in Waco, Texas

The young Baker family had three children in Waco as Larry, Brenda, and Kathy Kathy was born handicapped and died at the young age of seven just before the family moved to Howe The family was not seeking Howe
