MELBOURNE (Brevard County) FLORIDA — Following in the footsteps of another Brevard County head football coach, Christopher Sands has been hired by Eau Gallie High School to fill the coaching vacancy left when Tim Powers resigned in November.Sands joins the Commodores from Central High School in Brooksville, Florida, which is located north of Tampa and in Hernando County.
During Sands’ tenure, the Bears posted a 13-26 record. The former all-conference offensive lineman helped more than two dozen players sign to play football at the college level.
Sands is a big man, standing 6-foot-9. He was a four-year starter at offensive tackle for the Florida A&M Rattlers and selected to the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference All-Conference Team twice and a two-year captain while at FAMU.
Sands played high school football at Tallahassee-Leon. Central won just six games from 2009 through the 2013 season, and under Sands, would fin
ish 6-4 in 2016.
If the former Central head coach can experience any of the success the last head coach that moved from there to coach a Brevard County team has had during the past 13 years, the Commodores are in for one great ride.
