Jake Bramlett named Ocean Springs head football coach

OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (WLOX) -The Ocean Springs Greyhounds football team has a new top dog.

The team announced Tuesday Jake Bramlett would take the helm of the football program, replacing Blake Pennock who took the Gulfport head coaching position.

Bramlett is no stranger to the team as he has served as the offensive coordinator for the last three years.

“It’s more than a blessing. I could never have imagined being in the position that I am right now,” said Bramlett. “All of the hard work that I put in, that the staffs put in, every staff I’ve ever worked with has all led up to where I am right now. I couldn’t be more blessed and more appreciative with the opportunity they’re presenting me.”

“I wish I could say probably as proud as my Grandpa is of me,” he added. " It’s something I’ve dreamed of. It’s something that I’ve worked towards my entire life. Just looking up to my Grandpa and my Uncle growing up. I watched every one of my Uncle’s games during their State Championship runs at McComb. It’s a dream come true.”
