The 2012 Labor Day Golden Classic will be held on September 2, 2012 at Legion Field at 6:00pm. The Miles College Golden Bears will take on the Lions from the University of North Alabama.
CHELSEA, Alabama -- Coach Reginald Ruffin is a fighter. He learned that from his mother. "I watched her for 12 years fight cancer, and I took her to all her treatments up until she passed," he says. "She fought until the end, and that fighting is in me."
That fighting spirit has served Ruffin well, from his football-playing career at the University of North Alabama, where he was a three-time All-American, to coaching stints at UNA, Tuskegee University and elsewhere.
Ruffin just finished his first season as head football coach of the Miles Golden Bears, where he fought his way to the top. The team won the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title and he was named SIAC football coach of the year.
But at home in Chelsea—with wife Monica and son Gabe, 8—it may surprise folks to know that Ruffin is all about HGTV and SpongeBob SquarePants.
