Towels III reflects on Duncanville, prepares for new challenge at Clear Brook
Apr 24, 2020
Everyone loves a winner and it appears that John Towels III is the guy to get Clear Brook football back in the conversation.
Towels served as the DC for Duncanville High School the past four seasons. Yes, the Duncanville that went to back-to-back state title games falling just short to North Shore High School.
VYPE COO Matt Malatesta caught up with Towels to talk about the cornerstones of his program, his football journey, and of course, the legendary battles in the state title games.
