Hurst credits staff for success
Placeholder Image
Two weeks ago, Eastside football coach Rick Hurst set a special milestone not only in Eastside history, but in Newton County lore. Hurst and the Eagles captured their 58th victory with Hurst leading the helm, surpassing former Newton High coach Milton McLaney for most head football coaching victories at a Newton County school. For Hurst, the occasion happened with little notice or fanfare, but that's the way the Eagles' leader wanted it, saying that the landmark moment was more a celebration of his staff than of his individual coaching.
