Booker T football coach resigns

In 2008 the Booker T. Washington Hornets won the 2008 state championship, but the 2009 season was filled with controversy and that has resulted in head coach Antawain Jimmerson resigning his post Monday.

Jimmerson, who coached the Hornets in the 2002 state championship against Guthrie, was surrounded by eligibility violations which resulted in multiple forfeits. The forfeits cost the highly ranked Hornets a playoff spot.

Jimmerson was the head man for 10 seasons and was suspended indefinitely from his coaching duties and his position as athletic director in October due to the use of more than 40 ineligible student-athletes. He did not coach the final two games of the season. Jimmerson also resigned as athletic director.
