Rich with memories, Pickens retires after 30 years
After 30 years of teaching English and coaching athletics, Pickens has decided to hang up those hats.
Throughout his career he coached softball, baseball, track and was the varsity head football coach for four years.
“When you’re a teacher, you realize you’ve got to step up and jump in. If you don’t know something, find somebody that does,” he said. “Never be so full of yourself not to listen and ask for help.”
The very first year he returned to Jefferson he was able to coach football under his former football coach and mentor, Marc Cisco. Together they won the state championship in 1994.
