Kyle Lynch PHS '83 and son of Joel Lynch, has made quite a name for himself, not only in Canadian, Texas, but in football circles around the state. By virtue of leading the Canadian Wildcats to the Class 2A state football championship title with a 15-1 record, Kyle was chosen by the Amarillo Globe-News sports writers as Coach of the Year along with the player selections for Golden Spread Super Team across all classifications. Kyle and his coaching staff implemented a spread offense during the off-season, and after losing in overtime in their third game, his team won 13 straight games, including 6 in the playoffs, and captured the school’s first state championship. The Wildcats were underdogs in their last four playoff games. They defeated Elysian Fields 40-25 in the finals, Kudos go out to you, Kyle, for quite an outstanding accomplishment and for being the latest in a line of excellent coaches who graduated from Phillips.
