Ever since the days of the gladiators competing in the Coliseum, sport has bonded human beings together. Sports demand unity, pride and an unwavering commitment to success. This is what Kirk Johnson is bringing to the table as the new Benjamin Russell High School football coach. Entering his thirteenth year on the sidelines and fifth as a headman, Johnson looks to take flight in his debut season at BRHS. The stakes are high, but the rewards are even higher.
Established in 1950, Benjamin Russell High School has been at the heart of a very endearing community in Alexander City. As the stereotype goes, promoting athletics in small Southern towns is much like in the movies. There is a fire burning underneath the surface in Alexander City and it ignites when the Wildcats are winning.
