John Pearce is a retired college football coach.
"The Astrodome clock showed 2:58 remaining in the game. The two
coaches, one busting with elation (Oscar
Cripps) over the previous play, the other secretly heartbroken
(John Pearce) were summed to the midfield to
check tie breaker statistics. It was then, in the kinetic heat of
shifted momentum, that John Pearce threw his
arm around Stratford's Oscar Cripps, who immediately retaliated
with a hug. That's what good football
should do here in America. It should help us take pride in
communities in which we live. It is a lesson the
SWC "community" could do well to learn."
Al Carter, sports writer
(Houston Chronicle, 1988)
"Through his dedication, responsibility, and leadership, Coach
Pearce has created a positive educational
atmosphere and has contributed greatly to the countless young
people by giving support, and encouragement
so needed to enable them to realize their dreams and goals.
Kathy Whitmire, Mayor of Houston
(John Pearce Day in Houston, 1989)
