As we head toward the start of our fifth year of the High School Football America Radio Show, we’re starting a new feature called Rewind Wednesday that looks about at some of the incredible guests we’ve had on the show since July 21, 2011.
Today we rewind to September 11, 2014 when we spoke with Colquitt County High School head coach Rush Propst, who joined us at the start of a season that ended with the Packers winning their first-ever Georgia AAAAAA and a #4 ranking in our final Top 25 national rankings. With plenty of returning talent, Probst and the Packers have a great shot at landing in our 2015 Preseason Top 25 that we’ll release on August 1st.
Propst has built Colquitt County into a Georgia-power after taking Hoover High School in Alabama to national fame with the MTV show Two-A-Days and plenty of state championships.
