DeVoursney resigned at Griffin in the winter of 2014 after a five-month investigation into alleged recruiting and inappropriate academic help to student-athletes. DeVoursney denied any wrongdoing.
DeVoursney’s record at Griffin was 128-35 in 13 seasons.
Fallaw stepped down but remained in the school system. He led Cairo to a Class AAA championship in 2008. Fallaw’s teams were 116-34 in 12 seasons, including a 9-3 finish in 2014.
