A friend of the website brought to my attention a couple of discrepancies in our records with regards to two coaches. He helped clear up Joe Hubbert but I am still confused on Morris Higginbotham. The AHSAA coaches hall of fame stated his record as 190-73-11 but we have him at 159-79-10.
I beleive I have all the head coaching jobs he held during his career and the correct years. Anyone have an idea of where we are wrong?
David, he wasn't the coach at Hueytown in 1982 as he retired in 81. I looked up several things. One is the AHSAA Hall of Fame page which lists him as having 27 seasons as a head coach and a record of 190-73-8. He was the coach of Livingston University from 1967-69. Also is this Tuscaloosa News article upon his hiring at Livingston which lists his record as 111-27-8 in 15 seasons. It very well could be a mix up of numbers with the AHSAA, and everyone else since then has just copied and pasted what they've said. I'm sure Ron Ingram would be interested. I will see if I can contact the elder Coach Higginbotham's son and see what I can find out.
