Roy Upchurch, former Tide RB, lands coaching job at Pinson Valley High School

People have targeted Thompson High School, Hewitt-Trussville High School, and Hoover High School as the Alabama programs that produce talented athletes for Crimson Tide football, but a fourth school is rising.

Pinson Valley High School has given Ga’Quincy “Kool-Aid” McKinstry to Nick Saban; however, more could be on the way.

The three-time Class 6A state champions (2017, 2018, 2020) have hired Roy Upchurch as its head strength and conditioning coach and running back coach. Pinson Valley announced the news Saturday morning via Twitter.

Upchurch joins Sam Shade (Indians’ head coach) as the second Crimson Tide alum on the staff.
