A google review of the football coaches for the past 15 years of Andausia High School:
Andalusia High School (Andalusia, Alabama) has had three head football coaches over the last 15 years (dating back to 2011). [1]
Head Football Coaches (Last 15 Years)
Trent Taylor (2015–present): Led the Bulldogs to a Class 4A State Championship in 2022 and compiled an impressive multi-year record.
Brian Seymore (2008–2014): Coached the team through the early 2010s, capturing a region title in 2010.
Heath Harmon (2007): Led the team for the 2007 season to an 11-2 record prior to Seymore’s tenure.
Heath Harmon, former head coach at Andalusia High School, was hired in June 2024 by the Alabama High School Atheltic Association. In the ruling against Carroll High School, there was no documentation released and by viewing their web site no one can expect any up to date minutes to see how the decision was made.
The Alabama Atheltic Association was created in 1921. It is comprised of 425 Senior High Schools, 335 Junior High and Middle Schools, ruling over 150,000 sports activities with no documentation available on line since January 29, 2025. So no apparent accountability to the public after 6 months that former Andalusia High Scool Head Coach Heath Harmon took over as Executive Director of the Alabama Athletic Association.

Dr. Robert Wallace Moore, age 84, of Dothan, Alabama passed away on September 11, 2026. He was born November 5,1941 in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, but moved to Pompano Beach at the age of 9 where he lived until graduating High School.
He was a man of great intellect, integrity and discipline. Those who knew him well understood that he was often in charge, usually right, brutally honest and always direct in his opinions. Everyone also knew how much he loved his wife, children and grandchildren. His goal in life was to always provide for them.
Dr. Moore was an intelligent student in both college and medical school. He completed his undergraduate studies at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio, before continuing on to Wake Forest Medical School. He went on to serve his residency internship at St. Joseph in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and later completed his Orthopedic residency at Campbell Clinic in Memphis, Tennessee. His education and training prepared him for a long and respected career in medicine, and he approached his work with the same seriousness and commitment that marked every other part of his life.
In 1973, Dr. Moore came to Dothan and began his career as an orthopedic surgeon, serving the community faithfully until his retirement from Southern Bone and Joint in 2005. Over the course of his career, he earned the respect of colleagues, patients, and friends through his skill, confidence, and unwavering dedication to his profession. He was proud of the work he did and the difference he made in the lives of so many people over the years.
He and his wife of 61 years, Judith Moore shared many fond memories of their travels together. After retirement Robert and Judith moved to Destin, FL and then Highlands, NC and on to Atlanta, Ga. In 2024 they moved back to Dothan, the city that had been such a meaningful part of their life. Golf was his favorite pastime. He loved to play and watch for the sheer enjoyment and relaxation. Later in life, he found joy in the simple things of life. Good food, working in his yard, taking his beloved dog, Sophie for rides and time spent talking with friends and family.
He is survived by his wife, Judith Moore; his sons, Eric Moore (Marilee), Jason Moore (Tonya), son-in-law Skip Davis; cousins and his grandchildren, Tucker Davis, Ethan Moore, Eli Moore, and Crawford Moore. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Amy Moore Davis; his brother, Jim Moore; and his sister, Saundra Saylor. The family would also like to thank Dr. Juanita Heersink and staff, Dr. Thuy Le-Kumar and staff, CCU doctors and nurses at SEH, Gentiva Hospice and Wiregrass Home Care for the outstanding care they provided with the utmost compassion and professionalism.
Dr. Moore leaves behind a legacy of determination, hard work, and devotion to family. He lived life on his own terms with conviction and purpose and will be remembered for the many ways he shaped the lives of those around him. His presence will be deeply missed, and his memory will remain a lasting comfort to all who knew and loved him.
A reception in Dr. Moore’s honor will be held on Wednesday, September 23, 2026 from 4:00pm-6:00pm at the Dothan Country Club.
Laughter & Marriage Open SEACT’s Season in Company
DOTHAN, Ala. — Southeast Alabama Community Theatre (SEACT) announces that tickets for its season-opening production of Company go on sale Monday, August 31.
On the night of his 35th birthday, confirmed bachelor Robert (Bobby) contemplates his unmarried state. Over the course of a series of dinners, drinks and even a wedding, his married friends — “those good and crazy people” — explain the pros and cons of taking on a spouse. The habitually single man is forced to question his adamant retention of bachelorhood during a hilarious array of interactions.
Company premiered on Broadway in 1970 with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by George Furth. The show actually began as a series of short plays about marriage. The main character, Bobby, is a composite of bachelors who appeared in the short versions. Company is widely credited as one of Broadway’s first “concept musicals” built around a theme and a series of vignettes. It is one of Sondheim’s most influential and frequently revived works.
