A Rush To Resign
Pell City, AL - The tumultuous career of high school football coaching legend Rush Propst has taken yet another controversial turn. I’ll pause for dramatic effect. This is what Rush Propst does. This is what Rush Propst is. In like a lion. Out like a thundering herd of rabid elephants. Always under a cloud of accusation and suspicion. One salacious scandal after another. At Hoover, it was grade fixing, ineligible players and that “other family,” that brought Propst House of Cards tumbling down.

Erik Jones cleared to return by NASCAR but will sit out Kansas race after back injury at Talladega
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Erik Jones was cleared by doctors and approved to return by NASCAR on Thursday, but his Legacy Motor Club team will hold him out of this weekend’s race at Kansas Speedway to allow him more time to recover from his crash at Talladega. Corey Heim will drive the No. 43 Toyota in Sunday’s race. Jones plans to be in attendance at Kansas and help crew chief Dave Elenz before returning to the driver’s seat at Darlington Raceway, where he has two Cup Series victories. Late in the race at Talladega, John Hunter Nemechek appeared to bump the rear of Bubba Wallace, who then clipped Jones and sent him crashing hard into the outside wall. He was initially examined and released from the infield care center, but Jones’ team said after the race that he had been transported to UAB University Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama, for more testing. Jones returned home to North Carolina that Sunday night and met with specialists in the Charlotte area. They determined that the 27-year-old driver had sustained a compression fracture in a lower vertebra.
