Head football coach Gus Malzahn will be inducted into the Arkansas High School Coaches Association Hall of Fame Friday, July 12, in Hot Springs, Ark.
Malzahn coached high school football in Arkansas for three different schools from 1992-2005, but will be inducted for his success at Springdale High School. Beginning in 2001, Malzahn coached the Bulldogs four years going to the state championship twice and winning in 2005.
Prior to his tenure at Springdale, Malzahn created one of the most forceful and respected offenses in the county at Shiloh Christian School, scoring a national record 66 passing touchdowns in 1998. He led the Saints to back-to-back state titles in 1998 and 1999 before taking over as head coach at Springdale.
The hall of fame will be inducting five coaches along with Malzahn at a ceremony Friday night in Hot Springs.
