Former Colquitt County (Moultrie, Ga) High School football coach Rush Propst is taking over as the new head coach of the Valdosta (GA) High School Wildcats, according to the Valdosta High Twitter account.
During Tuesday’s Valdosta Board of Education meeting, the board voted 5 to 4 to bring Propst to Valdosta.
While at Alabama’s Hoover High, he was featured in the MTV series “Two-A-Days.” Propst led Hoover to multiple state championships but an extramarital affair and recruiting allegations ended his time at Hoover.
In 2007, he moved to Colquitt and compiled a 119-35 record with two state titles. Prospt was fired last March after allegations of the misuse of school funds for a hotel and concerns about being verbally abusive to an athlete.
Valdosta is home to the winningest high school football program in the country with a record 911 wins. The Wildcats have won six national championships, 24 state championships, and 42 regional championships. Former Georgia lettermen Buck Belue, John Lastinger, Brice Hunter, Malcolm Mitchell, Todd Peterson, Jay Rome and James Eunice all graduated from Valdosta.
Valdosta plays at Colquitt County September 11 of the upcoming season.
