Thomas takes job in Florida
Longtime J.H. Rose football coach Greg Thomas has
accepted the head football coaching position at Choctawhatchee High
School....There's
a good chance Greenville hasn't heard the last of Thomas. A former
football player at ECU, Thomas said Choctaw has already sent a few
players the Pirates' way � as recently as former Pirate center Hunter
Wood who last played for ECU in 2005. Thomas also said he hopes to
facilitate a possible pipeline from Florida to Greenville.
