Coach Allison shared that “it has been a great experience to start a program with the administrative and community support that East Forsyth High School has had.”
“Coach Allison was the right coach to start the program at East Forsyth,” shared East Athletic Director Matt Hollis. “He had done a great job building a staff and developing relationships with the kids and community. I am thankful to have had his guidance in starting the Bronco football program.”
Coach Allison will continue to teach and finish the year at East Forsyth High School.”
