  "summary": "Calvin \"Dusty\" Triplett, a former Winter Haven head football coach, will be inducted into the inaugural class of the Newberry College Hall of Master Coaches. Triplett, who graduated from Newberry College in South Carolina in 1974, is recognized as one of seven Hall-of-Fame honorees for 2026. Throughout his career, Triplett served as a successful teacher, coach, and mentor in high schools in South Carolina and Florida for over four decades. He played football at the United States Military Academy at West Point before transferring to Newberry, where he lettered in both football and baseball. Triplett's innovative defensive strategies, including the Blue Steel defense, earned him a reputation as one of the most effective defenses in the state. He led Aiken High School to the 1989 state championship game and returned to Winter Haven High School in 1990, where his turnaround of a struggling program to an 8-2 force in his third season showcased his coaching prowess.",
