Brooks Dampeer will not return to Pell City for the 2016 football season.

After three seasons at the school, Dampeer's teams finished with a 16-16 overall record including a couple of first round playoff losses the past two years.

Head football coach Keith Etheredge resigned his position at Leeds in February to accept the same position at Pell City. He led the Green Wave to four state championships in his ten seasons with the program including the last two.

Etheredge leaves behind a football program on top of Class 4A. His overall record at Leeds stands at 107-34 and his playoff record was 35-6 on the field. His teams won six region championships and never finished worse than third.

He arrives at a Pell City program that has won only 15 playoff games in the history of the school.
