A high school football coach in Georgia has been fired after he oversaw an event on public school property last month in which a pastor baptized 20 members of the team.
Tattnall County High School Coach Isaac Ferrell was dismissed as the team’s coach, with school district officials citing an unspecified “incident” that occurred earlier this month.
“The safety and security of our students is paramount to Tattnall County Board of Education,” stated Tattnall County School District Superintendent Kristen Waters, according to WSAV.
“Based on the outcome of an investigation into an incident that occurred Friday night, November 3rd while traveling after the football game, the District decided that it would seek a Head football coach that aligned with the best interests of the students of Tattnall County for the 2024-2025 school year.”
The superintendent stated that regarding “any other allegations, the District does not comment during ongoing investigations.”
