Hello my name is James "Jimmie" Hall, I am the Football Commissioner for Generals Highway Football. I have been with GHAA Football since it began in 2009 when we started the football program. We have vastly grown each year since started with two B-Teams in which we finished the season in the A-Division second-round playoffs our first year. The next season we blossomed into filling all weight classes allowed, 7 teams in which we all made playoffs that second year. I'd like to see our Organization continue to grow in the future expanding in other avenues such as education programs, multiple sports clinics, cheerleading, outdoor/environmental programs, and helping others in the community to do more for our community.
A little about myself, I was born and raised in Annapolis, MD. My Mother was an educator for many years doing her part to help the next generation move as I do through sports. My Father was a former U.S. Navy and work for the U.S. Naval Academy for many years as a mechanical engineer. I finished Annapolis High school in 1993, went to AACC for a semester or two. I tried Collage though seemed not for me at that time in my life. Ended up attend Lincoln Technical Institute and became a certified auto mechanic. As a child I wasn't allowed to play youth football because of my size as a child. The county football system made players get weighed in before every game. In which I didn't make weight a lot so my youth carrier was very short. Thank goodness that the county is now allowing unlimited weight classes, which I've fought for over the years. I played Football for Annapolis High we were County Champs 3 years in a row. I played with the Harrison Son's Steelers a Championship 9 man National Teams. I played some semi-pro football for a few local teams AA Co. Admirals, Annapolis Little Giants, Md Renegade's, and Maryland Christian Warriors. Got into coaching at a local youth organization PAL Hawks as an assistant working with the O/D line. Learned a lot of the process of coaching opposed from playing the game. Children are like sponges whatever you teach them early they carry with them for the rest of their lives. So I fell in love with coaching and helping young people progress in things they want to do in life. After being at that Organization for 3 year as an assistant, I was given the opportunity to become a head coach at another local org Annapolis Crusader's, were I honed in on my coaching skills. I coaches a couple groups of children to a number of championships while at this Org. I also was coaching a Severn School in Severna Park and Coaching Semi pro football with the Annapolis Thunder winning the AFL Super Bowl. After a short term there and an Administrative debacle I left that org. and began coaching the unlimited levels of football at another org. After being there for two years of being a head coach they had a new president to take term and I wasn't given a team to coach, so I left that org. and somewhat helped create General Highway Football in 2009 and been here since. As becoming Commissioner I will do my best with the resource I have to move GHAA to the next level of being a staple helping in our community in Anne Arundel County. I am looking forward in growing with Generals Highway as we grow to benefit the Community.
