Alexander Still Suspended; Officials to Meet Again November 9

TROUP — It will apparently be early November before we get an update on the status of Troup head football coach Dennis Alexander. KETK reports a special meeting with Troup ISD officials was held Monday night to discuss the allegations against the legendary coach. But no action was taken, and Alexander remains suspended until further notice. Alexander said last week he’d been suspended due to allegations he slapped a player, which he denies. He was notified by the school district last Wednesday of the complaint against him. School officials plan to revisit the discussion November 9. Alexander’s storied career includes two state championships when he headed up the football program in Daingerfield.
