Coach Gess leaves ELCA

Recommended Posts

Gess has been head coach at ELCA since 2007, compiling a 160-39 record with 11 region championships and  the six state titles, include 5 in a row from 2015 to 2019. In addition to those state titles, he led four other teams to the state semifinals or deeper. 

He was hired away by Hebron Christian, where he replaces Stan Luttrell, who was hired as an assistant at Colquitt County.

It was rumored that Gess had applied at Colquitt himself. Apparently he was already feeling like it was time to leave ELCA seeing as to how that was said, and he took the next opening he could fit into. 

Kind of late for a change like this for both schools though.

I was surprised to learn that the ELCA job was his first. He came from the military directly into the HC job.

They've done pretty well under him. Moving into the public school sector is much different. Probably good he stayed in the little privates for now.
