How did I miss that the stache is working for the Dolphins?
No, not GF's Phins (may he rest in peace).  The Dolphins of Gulf Shores High School.

They're gonna replace Thompson and before that, Hoover, as the new bought and paid for cutthroat "HS NIL" Program in the state.

What's happened at GS is everything wrong with youth sports. Just slimy.

Van Gorder?

Yep....they shelled out cash to get this college level dream team staff, and "bought" a bunch of top notch players.

Mark Hudspeth is the HC last I checked (former U La-LA head man).

Building up that state retirement and actually winning.  Sounds like a great deal for them.

What's happened at GS is everything wrong with youth sports. Just slimy.

I watched the game between Gulf Shores and Ramsay last night.  GS won the championship, but it was wayyy closer than it should have been. Up 21-6 at half, in the second half, they fumbled 3 times, had a punt blocked and missed a field goal from the 3 yard line that would have put the game away. That team has speed, speed, speed.

However, probably have this season vacated unless the allegations against them haven't been resolved.  Don't know the status of that, but the accusation is that a sporting goods company, Gulf Coast Athletics, was paying rent for families of athletes who had transferred in to the program. For whatever reason, the rent stopped, and GCA got sued for it.  If it's found to be even remotely true, the hammer will drop.

Unless someone is on the take at the AHSAA, they don't frick around with that stuff.

The one-handed interception was jaw dropping.

And Troy's John Sumrall fills the final spot at Tulane. They're getting a good one.  Two years at Troy. Two Sun Belt Championships.

Issue is he’s never even been a coordinator. Love Zack but he would be a step down from Summerall.

But the fit part you are correct on, seeing as he played at Charles Henderson.

Called his last game at Charles Henderson on WTBF back in the day. The Chucks upset Jess Lanier that night. Good times.

We are trading Zac for T-Rob, Caddy for Dell and Jarquez for Quinshon.
Or nothing at all.  One or the other.
