Excerpts from a 2009 news article - link to article at bottom of post.
"Boundary County School District Trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to keep Ed DePriest as Bonners Ferry High School’s head football coach for 2009.
“I’d like to thank the school board for letting the public speak,” said Skeen, who understood the issues surrounding DePriest’s future were related to his apparent inability to follow the rules and orders." (**He still doesn't like rules/orders.***)
"Although the board, Reynolds and DePriest have never talked publicly about what led to not renewing DePriest’s coaching contract, the Skeens shared their insights.
In addition to DePriest not being able to follow the rules, Skeen had understood that some felt DePriest was unfair to players.
DePriest was suspended from a game last fall. Although DePriest and Reynolds never said why, parents of players indicated in a letter to The Herald it was because one week earlier DePriest allowed some of his varsity players to play in a Priest River junior varsity game for one quarter against the wishes of administrators.
Since taking over the helm two years ago, the Badgers have gone 2-7 in the Intermountain League and 4-12 overall."
