Last year the family broke ground on a house designed with his needs in mind in a rural suburb of Athens. And today he was introduced as the newest member of the coaching staff at another suburban HS (a top end program at that).
Just very cool.

For those unfamiliar with the region, it includes two of the state's top 5 ranked team in the classification (Jefferson is #2) and among those Gales has worked with closely is 4* ATH Malaki Starks, a 2022 prospect that has Alabama, Clemson, and Georgia as his current top three.
