Please join us in supporting a proposal to name the new Madison High School football stadium in honor of Coach Preston Haley. Coach Haley is the father of the Bobcat winning football tradition. From 1980 through 1984 Coach Hailey led the Bobcats to an unprecedented five straight appearances in the Idaho High School state championship football game, winning four of the five championships. The 1982 and 1983 teams were perfect, going undefeated for two consecutive seasons, a feat yet to be duplicated at Madison High School (although our hats are off to the 2012 undefeated team). The 1984 team lost only a single game, but secured the state championship for a third straight season. Please join us in honoring one of the greatest high school football coaches in Idaho history by signing the petition!

Many people think that my father, Preston Haley, was the greatest Coach on the football field. I believe he has been the greatest Coach off the field!

He was a wonderful man that taught integrity and morality. He was a wonderful example to all and a great math teacher.

Coach Haley is a legend! He CONSISTENTLY had high performing football teams and regular appearances at State!! Most impressive was having an undefeated season and taking State!! Naming the new field after Coach Haley would be an amazing way to honor such an outstanding coach through the years!

Only one person can claim to be the "father" of the Bobcat winning football tradition. This is that person. This is the right thing to do.

It would be an honor for the new complex to be named after coach Haley. He is an amazing man not only on the field but off the field. Graduate of 1997

Although I never played for Coach Haley in High School I played for him at Ricks! I watched him Coach my brother and was an influence on me transferring down to Madison High School! Let’s honor this great coach.

Preston Haley is a legend in Madison Football! A perfect choice to represent not only the future of the football program in Rexburg, but an example of real grit, motivation, and inspiration to the young players in the area. I vote for the new football stadium at Madison Highschool to be named after one of the greatest coaches Madison has had: Preston Haley.
