This summer not only marks the end of the school year but also the end of a long and prestigious coaching career at Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond High School.
In March the ALAH school board did not renew Dale Schuring’s coaching positions in football or basketball.
For more than three decades, Schuring has been a staple in the area and leaves behind a long history of coaching that spans several sports.
Currently, he has been taking things slowly and trying to adjust to the newfound downtime.
“I am taking things slowly to see what is out there and figure out where I want to go with my life since I am close to retirement, three years,” said Schuring, who is a math teacher. “I am struggling mightily with all the downtime I now have available because I am accustomed to going 100 miles per hour all year round.”
This transition is understandable after years of conditioning.
Schuring first coached for Arthur as a volunteer as an assistant football coach in the fall of 1988.
He took his first paid coaching job at Arthur as an assistant baseball coach in the winter of 1988-89. Read More
