CROSSVILLE,  Ala.—The Southern Torch Coach of the Week is Miles Holcomb, newly appointed  Head Coach of the Crossville Lions Varsity Football team.

Coach Holcomb graduated from Crossville High School in 2005. He attended Shorter University where he played on the offensive line for the Shorter Hawks.  While at Shorter, he received his Bachelor in Science and Math.

When asked about his new position as Head Coach for the Crossville Lions, “This is a dream come true.  I have wanted to do this since Kindergarten” Holcomb said.  “I feel the Lord gives you a title for your testimony, mine is to be a Coach and help lead others to God.”

Holcomb is married to Kayla, a third grade teacher at Crossville.  They have one son, Cannon who is three. Before being hired at Crossville, Holcomb was the offensive coordinator for the Lions.

Coach Holcomb said his favorite quote would have to be from Stuart Scott,  “Don’t downgrade your dream just to fit your reality. Upgrade your conviction to match your destiny…”

Southern Torch would like to wish Coach Holcomb and the Crossville Lions the best of luck in their upcoming season.
