Rocky White named new football coach at South Meck

Former West Mecklenburg coach Rocky White is the new football coach at South Meck.

White replaces James Martin, who resigned to take an assistant's job in South Carolina.

"We interviewed five candidates and 39 applicants," South Meck athletics director Kevin Hinson. "I think both the current staff, administration and parents and students -- who were involved in the process -- and everyone felt Rocky brought a sense of stability and a lot of coaching experience along with a commanding personality that will fit in good and will lead us onward and upward."
