About	In Memory of Coach “MO” Morrison Thigpen, 1961-2007 Funeral arrangements: Sunday, June 24th, 2007 at 2pm Florence Cemetery, Florence, Alabama Coach Thigpen was born in Alabama but played high school football at Mitchell High School in Colorado Springs and at Western State in Gunnison, Colorado. He started coaching in Madison, Alabama as a volunteer at the high school and eventually decided to teach and coach full time. Having coached the last 5 years in Georgia and for 10 years previously in Alabama, he had taught multiple positions and been both a defensive and offensive coordinator. This was his first year at Kell where he taught Social Studies and coached the safeties. It is amazing how many lives he changed in just one short year with the Longhorn family. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, colleagues, students and players. Rest in Peace Coach Mo. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to the American Humane Society in memory of Coach Mo
