Three former football players from Winnipeg’s Oak Park High School are competing in the Grey Cup on Sunday and their old coach couldn’t be more proud.
“It’s like I got a horseshoe in my ear. I don’t know. It was a really, really rewarding and wonderful career to coach right through those years. I just seem to have one talented … player after another.”

Nixon said he’s lucky to have worked with such good players.
“In the program that I ran, we had a lot of really good coaches. We had guys that played university or pro or junior and had a lot of playing experience and then we’re really good with kids and coached for a long time. It was a good staff and we’re all like really, really proud.”
Nixon said he hopes Harris has a good game, but is rooting for the Bombers to come out on top.
