Coach Scroggins was my sociology teacher at grandview highschool- no words can convey what this man meant to me. he had such a great impact on my life. he will be deeply missed.
I was in the same sociology class, he had an impact on us all, and everyone in that class formed a bond and remained friends after highschool. He was a truly good man...
He was my coach, taught us all values of life and will be missed.
