Ken Holbrook

by Brian Mansfield
Ken Holbrook’s spare time is scarce. The Gamaliel High School assistant principal is also the father of two sons – and as the school’s football coach, he does everything from coordinating game plans to driving the team bus. On one Friday night, Holbrook’s family accompanied the team on a trip to Red Boiling Springs. Despite pre-game forecasts which favored the opposing team, and a losing streak that had plagued Gamaliel for two years, the Tigers won. A celebration with lots of emotion followed in the locker room. Radio interview following game.
