Interview with Coach Scott Darrow

An interview with Coach Scott Darrow, the Offensive Line coach and a teacher at Monroe High School. Coach Darrow has been coaching and teaching at Monroe since 2005, being a part of Bearcat football through lowly seasons in the 2000’s as well as the powerhouse teams in recent years. The conversation with Coach Darrow was lively and full of perspective gained from over a decade of coaching. As a big fan of Monroe football and a former student of his, this was one of my favorite interviews so far. He spoke about various head coaches, stories of the Lake Stevens rivalry, his famous pregame speeches, and what it means to be a teacher as well as a coach.
