When photo day started Monday at Gulf High, offensive coordinator Brian Wright was there.

Wright, who also is the boys track coach at Gulf, was admitted to the hospital last week for tests. Wright, better known as “Red,” was hospitalized in April with a ruptured esophagus.

“They think I passed a gallstone,” Wright said.

Wright said he expected to be 100 percent but knows not to push it.

“If I get tired, I’ll rest for awhile,” said Wright, who has lost 91 pounds since April.

Football practice began around the county Monday with three days of non-contact drills.
