Meet a General: Head Coach Randy Heath

It’s almost here Grant Nation.  Football season is in full swing with teams across the state beginning their fall camps this week.  Your Grant Generals just wrapped up their first week of practice and are looking ready to go under new head coach Randy Heath. 

The countdown to kickoff stands at 13 days, leaving little time before we find out how this relatively young term performs under the bright lights. Next week’s PIL jamboree will be a preview before the Generals take on Lakeridge on September 4th. This year’s Grant team hopes to build on the success of last year’s league championship squad, but will be tested early and often in 2015.  Today we got to sit down with Coach Heath and find out more than what we see on the sideline and in the halls of Grant High School.
