Former RSCC coach and athletic director inducted in Hall of Fame
Following remarks from TCCAA Commissioner Dr. Foster Chason, Nesbit was awarded a pair of plaques commemorating his induction into the hall and for his diligent service to the student-athletes at the college and for the impact he had on the hundreds and hundreds of lives he touched over 29 years.
The long-time coach and administrator told the crowd of former players, friends, faculty and Raiders fans, “I’m not sure I feel worthy of all of this, but I’m certainly grateful.”
Nesbit added, “I can only praise God that I’ve got a hall-of-fame wife and family, hall-of-fame support from the administration and past administrations, [and from] the coaches who are still here and the players – some of which are still on this team.
“Christ strengthened me to create an environment where everybody – players, coaches, and whoever I was in contact with – would do their best to represent Roane State,” he said.
