SHS head football coach resigns
After 13 years, a state title, Pennington says farewell to Blue Devils
W Steve Pennington
In his last game as Statesboro High School's head football coach, Steve Pennington offers encouragement to defender Isa Mobley after the Blue Devils force a punt in a loss to Wayne County on Nov. 4.
Following a program-worst 0-10 season and a three-year stretch in which Statesboro High School won only four games, head football coach Steve Pennington resigned Friday. Pennington, who took over the program in 2003, leaves with a 105-49 career record at SHS, four region titles and the 2005 state AAAA championship. That doesn't include the success he had as defensive coordinator under head coach Buzz Busby and a state AAAA title in 2001 as well.
