At age 81, Doris, a Peninsula HS grad, may be in her LAST LAP but her story of being one of the fastest runners in the world is still inspiring new generations of runners. "The Dawgfather: The Legacy of Don James " tells the story of a humble man from a small town in Ohio, whose impact as a coach and mentor not only changed the landscape of college football but also created lasting change through the men he coached and the people he worked with during his 22-year career. This film is a captivating human interest story wrapped in the world of football. It delves into the values James acquired as a child and how he applied them to his coaching philosophy, passing on his wisdom to the coaches and players who admired him. One of the most profound lessons he imparted was the belief that "Your legacy is not what you do, but rather what you empower others to do."PT2H45M2025-03-29The Dawgfather & Last Lap (Double Feature)"The Dawgfather & Last Lap (Double Feature)"
