Deshon Brock has been named the new head football coach at Calhoun County, returning to south Georgia after spending the past five years at Bradwell Institute in Savannah. Brock’s motto is “earn everything,” and he plans to build the program brick by brick. He said he wants to score points and play an exciting brand of football. Brock is originally from Leesville, Louisiana, and is a military brat. He played quarterback at Mississippi Valley State University for Willie Tieden, who was Jerry Rice’s quarterback.

He started his coaching career at Long County High School before moving to Mitchell County and then Bradwell Institute.
