Coach Bales comes to Yale after 30 outstanding years of teaching and coaching at Morrison Public Schools. During his time there, he led Morrison to five football state championships and one slow-pitch softball state championship, building a tradition of excellence and strong student-athlete leadership.
In the classroom, Coach Bales brings a wealth of experience teaching Social Studies courses including Oklahoma History, Government, U.S. History, and World History.
We are thrilled to have Coach Bales and his family join the Yale community. He will begin working with our junior high and high school football athletes after Spring Break.
Please join us in giving Coach Bales and his family a warm Bulldog welcome! 🐾🏈
