Former Hoover (Ala.) High coach Rush Propst ended a short-lived hiatus from high school football on Wednesday, taking a job as the coach at Colquitt County (Moultrie, Ga.).
The Colquitt Packers were 2-8 last year while playing in one of the top regions in the Southeast. Next season, Georgia's 1-AAAAA will get even tougher. Besides traditional powers Lowndes (Valdosta) and Valdosta, two-time AAAA champion Northside-Warner Robins will join the region.
"It's a challenge, but I'm excited, really excited, about being in Georgia and Moultrie," Propst said. "Winning is winning, no matter wherever you are. Each school has a separate identity and you have to figure out what approach to take."
Propst won five state titles at Hoover. He became well known after Hoover became the subject of MTV's reality program, "Two-a-Days." After various controversies at the school, including a grade-changing scandal and an ineligible player that led to several forfeits, Propst resigned from Hoover at the end of last October.
