First of all, the coaches that were chosen for the Hall of Fame are all great coaches. I only meant why wasn't he also selected. He most definitely deserves the recognition. That was not the only good season he had at GC.

GCHS has had dozens of coaches and hundreds of athletes. All have had great games, lousy games, winning seasons and losing seasons. Having one good year does not make a person a Hall of Famer. The coaches chosen were excellent choices. Vernon Jackson was not in that same category, definitely not a Hall of Fame coach.

It seems that Gordon central is reminding a few people that the high light of their life happened when they were in high school. That may send some former GC student running for a bottle of xanax and whiskey.

If the '95-96 team was inducted, then why wasn't Coach Vernon Jackson inducted? He led them to the highest ranking GC ever had along with a great staff and awesome talented players.
