Northview Names Greenwell As Head Baseball Coach, Football Offensive Coordinator

August 6, 2016

Northview High School has named Jeremy Greenwell as their new head baseball coach and offensive coordinator for football.

Greenwell comes from Ernest Ward Middle School, where he worked as a physical education teacher and led a successful football program (career record 28-11). EWMS has the only middle school football program in Escambia County.

He played baseball as a student at Northview from 2002-2005 and pitched for Jeff Davis Community College (2006). Greenwell played football and lettered all four years at Northview and then played football at the University of West Alabama. He has coached baseball for four seasons. He coached football under legendary coach Jay Jeffcoat at Ernest Ward from 2008 to 2010 before taking over as head football coach at Ernest Ward from 2011 to 2015.

Greenwell’s hiring comes on the heels of the recent resignation of Sid Wheatley, who returned to his native Mississippi.  Wheatley served as head football and head baseball coach at Northview. Former offensive coordinator Derek Marshman was promoted to head football coach a week ago, just days before fall practice began.
