Monroe Dispatch - No Struggle, No Progress

Sources share that Carroll High School Head Football Coach Alex Washington was allegedly relieved from his head coaching duties at the school after many years. The news was a shock to many who know what Washington has meant to the program. Washington, a Carroll alum, was changing the culture of the football teams as players were becoming honor students and receiving football scholarships. The team also began to win more, moving to later rounds in the state football playoffs. Washington had a good rapport with the community and worked hard to keep student-athletes on a path to success. It is difficult to understand why a program on the rise would have such an abrupt change, especially since Washington has remained scandal-free during his tenure, leaving many more questions about his dismissal.
