Coach Ray was my second coach ever in softball. He was the first one to ever look at me and believe I could be a great pitcher. Everything I am in softball right now is because of him. Not only was he my coach he was also part of my family. I spent hours with him on the field telling him more about my day then I told my parents. He would always make our day better by laughing and doing somersaults over home plate. Even when I wasn’t on his team he would text my Dad and get ever detail he could on how I was playing. He was such an amazing person in so many aspects. Now when I step on that field I’m not playing for myself I’m playing for him. - Chase Watson

Robin Scott Ray may have been the name printed on his birth certificate, but he was simply “Coach Ray” to hundreds of softball athletes and peers.
Coach Ray was the best kind of coach, the kind that pushed young athletes to their limits — and then past those perceived limits. The girls he coached loved him and you could see the mutual joy the girls and Coach Ray brought to each other’s lives. His remarkable coaching career spanned over 20 years and I wish I could have been a part of it for longer than I was. A great coach, mentor and a caring individual to all. RIP my teacher, coach, mentor, most of all my friend. David Lewgood

Cynthia, I'm so sorry for your loss. Scott was as good as they come as a husband, father and friend, and I always held him in high regard. Please know you and your family are in my prayers.

Scott was always ready to help and work with his staff to get a task completed. As a Mainframer, I struggled with the Distributed Systems a little, and Scott was always there to help. Scott supported my new career and supported my decision to leave the State and 'do my own thing'. I will always remember Scott as a good person who loved to help others.
