He ran the Southern Force for quite a while and then left for the college world several years ago.

What an unusual career. Jumped right to the SEC as an Assistant. Winning an ASA championship used to be a big deal, kind of the equivalent of winning both PGF and Alliance.

Gerry started with the Southern Express and quickly started the Southern force in 2000. I was fortunate enough to coach against him several times including his last travel ball game at Ed Sedar's place, which was hosting ASA Gold Regionals.

Great coach, great recruiter and great human being!

Didn't Kevin Stephens run the Force with him?

I think Kevin was a Coach with Southern Force, not sure he had much to do with running it. Kevin did a great job with Bandits until opinions clashed.

Kevin wasn't originally coaching with Gerry but soon after he became an integral part of the Southern Force coaching staff as his top assistant.
Kevin came over to the Bandits via Gerry's recommendation and did a terrific job. I move coaches to different teams every couple of years to allow players to get different coaching styles and try to cut down the personal attachments that can influence playing decisions. Kevin wanted to stay with the team he was coaching and told me he would quit if he had to move to a different team. Unfortunately, I was stubborn and made the change.
