On the day that his hiring at South Carolina was made official, former Hammond head football coach Erik Kimrey went on social media to send a message to the Skyhawk community.
Kimrey spent 17 years in charge of the Hammond football program. Last month, Hammond defeated Laurence Manning 26-6 to give Kimrey's his 12th championship and it was also the fourth in a row for the Skyhawks.
The former South Carolina quarterback was officially named the new tight ends coach under new head football coach Shane Beamer on Sunday.
