Former Lamar High School football coach Tom Nolen (pictured, left) was inducted into the HISD Athletics Hall of Honor at Delmar Field House by Andre’ Walker (pictured, right), HISD Senior Executive Director of Athletics. The beloved coach led Lamar’s football team for 33 years and retired in 2018 with an impressive list of career accomplishments. When he retired, Nolen was the Houston area’s winningest coach with 364 wins between his years at Lamar and seven seasons at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory School. Lamar made 31 playoff appearances under Nolen’s leadership, and several of his players advanced to the National Football League (NFL), including Rod Babers, Brian Orakpo, Darrell Colbert, Jr., and Anthony Cook.
