He played football, basketball, and baseball at Milli- gan, and he also played three years of professional baseball with Selma and Montgomery. He coached at Lamar High School at Jonesboro, Tennessee, for nine years before coming to Red Bank, where he turned out some good baseball and basket- ball teams. Since Coach McCoy has gone to the Navy, Mr. Springfield has had the arduous task of coaching both basket- ball and baseball by himself, aside from his regular duties as a teacher.
