Belhaven College did some trail blazing on Monday when the school named Don Lee the Blazers' new head football coach. Lee becomes just the second black head football coach at a non-Historically Black University in Mississippi and among just a handful in the nation. Lee was previously the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator for the Blazers. He also was the overwhelming choice among Belhaven football players to get the job. He replaces Scott Highsmith, who resigned last week to become an assistant at Southeastern Louisiana, where he will be working for another former Blazer coach, Dennis Roland.
