LOCUST GROVE — After a career that last a total 43 years, Strong Rock Christian School athletic director Tommy Webb retired at the end of the 2022-23 school year.
“One of our team mottos and something I’ve strived to live by is ‘faith, family and football,” Webb said about his time at Strong Rock. “My tenure at Strong Rock has allowed me to grow in my faith and continue to do what I love to do, which is coach. I am thankful for the dreams and prayers of so many that led to Strong Rock becoming a school. My prayer is that it will continue to make an ‘impact for Jesus Christ’ in the future.”
