Earl Faison, 77

[nicefellow31]

Here's an obit and remembrance of Earl Faison that was in my local paper. He grew up in Newport News, VA. Discovered that at one point he was head coach (and eventually became principal) at San Diego's Lincoln High School where he coached future Heisman Trophy winner and Hall of Fame running back Marcus Allen. If memory serves me correct Allen was a QB in high school.

*Getting conflicting stories if he coached Allen or not.*
