Glynn Academy head coach Rocky Hidalgo became one of 14 active head coaches to take two GHSA schools to the semifinals. What was the other school that Hidalgo coached in a semifinal? (Answer Friday)

Answer to Wednesday's question: The semifinal head coaches who played in the NFL are John Hunt of Woodward Academy and Chris Slade of Pace Academy. Hunt was an offensive lineman for the Cowboys and Buccaneers in the 1980s. Slade was a linebacker with the Patriots in the 1990s. A good (but wrong) guess would've been Jermaine Smith of Cedar Grove. Cedar Grove's Smith, a former Tennessee Tech quarterback, is not related to the Jermaine Smith who played defensive line at Laney of Augusta and the University of Georgia and two seasons with the Packers.
