Rebels Coach Lee Sawyer will stay at STH web posted January 24, 2009 JOHNSTON – Coach Lee Sawyer put an end to any rumors that he was considering leaving Strom Thurmond to fill the shoes of Greenwood coach Shell Dula who announced in December that he was retiring after 12 years as Greenwood’s head football coach. Coach Sawyer was thought to be the top pick for the job after being a former defensive coordinator under Dula for three years. “I would like to announce that I am not pursuing the Greenwood High School job or any other job that I may be rumored to take,” Sawyer said at a press conference at Strom Thurmond Friday morning. “During the past month, I have conferred with several close friends and colleagues about the possibility of leaving Strom Thurmond for Greenwood. I have spent many hours alone studying the pros and cons of such a move,” Sawyer said. And to assuage any intentions of every leaving as the Head Coach of the Rebels team, a State Title, and other championships Coach Sawyer said, “I love this job. I love my past and present players and their parents. I love this school and the communities that feed it. I am very proud of all we have accomplished the last five years. I have five more years remaining before I can retire. I would like to retire the head football coach at Strom Thurmond High School.” In the five years Sawyer has been head coach he has compiled a remarkable 52-13 record and a Class AAA state championship in addition to conference and region championships. “We have a motto in our football program of “Pride, Class, Courage, and the Will to Win”,” Coach Sawyer said. “My players and coaches exemplify that twelve months out of the year. I am very demanding but they do whatever is asked of them to uphold those principles. We don’t have all the material things other schools have but we have two things that can’t be bought: huge hearts and a tremendous work ethic. Those are things you just don’t find everywhere.” Coach Sawyer said he wished Greenwood all the best in the upcoming year but was focused on leading the Rebels into the 2009 season. © Copyright 2009
