Rush Propst Headbutts Player on Sideline, Continues Coaching with Bloody Forehead
By Kyle Koster
Rush Propst is one of the most recognizable high school football coaches in the nation. He’s also one of the most fiery. That intensity led to him headbutting a player during a Georgia state playoff game.
Propst greeted kicker Luis Martinez with some head-to-head contact when the player returned to the sidelines during the second quarter. One party was still wearing his helmet. The result was a blood-soaked coach.
Propst called the game, which his Colquitt County team won, 52-31, “dad gum intense.” Seems like a fair characterization.

I can think of no better way to prove a point than self-inflicting a noticeable head injury. Really makes people pay attention to what you’re saying.
