Coach was a great man, more than a coach but like a father. He played kickball with us and would impress us with his powerful kicks. As kids it never registered to us the coach is actually athletic lol. My favorite memory was in 8th grade. I made myself a safety patrol when finally Coach gave in and gave me a belt. I was a patrol for only a full week and he said I did so good gave me patrol of the month of May. I remember that encouragement any time I get down 23 years later. Thank you Coach Battle! Forever in our hearts.

Coach Battle was more than a coach, he was a pillar in the community and an ICON that all of the St. Pius family loved and respected. His love was pure, his dedication was matchless.

I thank God I had the privilege to be one of many that had an opportunity to led by him. TF
