Way to go Bob!

A native of Butler in Bates County and a 1978 graduate of Missouri Southern State University, Beatty was a longtime high school football coach. He enjoyed a great deal of his success at Trinity, a private school in Louisville, Ky., where his teams were 254-44 in 21 seasons and won 15 state championships.

After graduating from Missouri Southern in 1978, his first coaching job came that year at Clinton High School, starting a 43-year career. He also coached at Yeokum Middle School in Belton and William Jewell College in Liberty (1980-1986).

Before Trinity, he spent 10 seasons (1987-1996) as offensive coordinator at Blue Springs High School and then was head coach for two seasons.
