Tom Mabry,
In the fall of 1980 I had the opportunity to play JV football coached by Jerry Russell. This was the funnest time I ever had in any organized sport. Jerry taught us focus and playing thru the whistle. I feel privileged to have played for both Jerry Russell and Perry Duke. Job well done!
I was coached by Jerry and Perry Duke the first year they coached football at South. They touched my life in a most positive way. They were true mentors and will never be forgotten.
Most Sincerely,
Danny Dennis
RIP Mr. Russell. Madeline, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I have fond memories of working with both you and Jerry. 🙏🙏🙏
Perry Duke and Jerry are back together again. If they could drum up a football team in Heaven, they would be coaching it together. My prayers and thoughts are with all your family.
