  1. I was talking to the Greensboro College SID Wes Gullett last weekend and we were talking about how GC had just hired a new head football coach, Coach Crum, and I told Wes that now since the interim GC head coach(Coach Westburg) would probably be out of a job with new staff coming in, and Coach Westburg ought to go get that job at Northern Guilford and I guess that is what he did…

    Good luck to him…He has some Guilford College ties too and with Coach Roscoe having Guilford College roots that should help chart the overall course….

  2. Great hire! Young with college coaching experience who really truly wants to be there. Seems personable and the GC offense was very good last year. Looking forward to the next few years as the young kids grow into his system.
