  "account": "Former Salesianum and Cape Henlopen football coach George Glenn, who coached for 21 seasons in Delaware high school football, passed away at the age of 84 on August 24 after a long illness. Glenn was living in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, but had previously resided in Lewes, Delaware. He was remembered fondly by many, including Bruce Reynolds, a long-time football coach at William Penn, who described their friendship as one where competition never overshadowed their camaraderie. Glenn's coaching career included a remarkable 143-68-13 record, with nine state tournament appearances and a Division I title game appearance in 1986. He also served as the director of football operations at Coastal Carolina from 2012 to 2018. Glenn's legacy was honored by present-day Salesianum football players, who observed a moment of silence in his memory. Glenn was a 1960 Salesianum graduate, a guard and linebacker on the undefeated Sallies football teams of the late 1950s. He later coached at Ferrum Junior College and East Tennessee State before returning to Delaware to coach at Salesianum and Cape Henlopen. Glenn's nephew, Nick Sanna, a coach at Archmere, remembered him as a major influence who could uplift and inspire his players. Glenn is survived by his daughter, sons Todd, John and Chris, and nine grandchildren.",
