The Washington County, Florida School Board met on Monday, July 13, 2026, with a special recognition for Coach Whitcom Field Dedication.
The board approved naming the school football field at Philip Rountree Stadium after Coach Whitcom. Board members expressed deep appreciation for the Wickham family’s impact on the community.
Board member Will “Tonka” Taylor, a former player, shared a personal tribute, stating, “A great coach can change a life”.
The board and the Whitcom family took photos together to commemorate the dedication. A formal ceremony will be held during a home football game later in the season.
