For a man who spent more than 30 years of his life as a Trooper, Coach Wade Ardoin’s long journey came to a symbolic end on Thursday as he was informed that the 2009-2010 yearbook was dedicated to him. In a little ceremony that took place in the YISD central office’s atrium, the senior football players presented Ardoin with a helmet signed by the class of 2010.

The yearbook adviser Ms. Lupe Carrasco informed him that the yearbook class had unanimously voted to dedicate this year’s book to him. Ardoin was surrounded by his greatful players and family that included his beloved wife Carlisle, his son Jordan, sister Nancy Anthes, and daughter Kelly. Ardoin was visibly emotional but stayed characteristically composed.
