MOULTRIE, Ga. (WTXL) - In June, the Georgia Professional Standards Commission ruled a year suspension for Colquitt County head football coach Rush Propst after he headbutted a player in December.

Propst immediately appealed the suspension, and on Thursday, the suspension was reversed to a reprimand. That mean's no time off the field as Propst looks to lead the Pack to their third straight State Championship.

Propst was at a 7v7 Tournament with his team this weekend, but released a statement through his lawyer saying, "I regret that this incident has in any way reflected negatively on Moultrie, Colquitt County High School, it's football program, players or their accomplishments."

He added he is looking forward to preparing his team for the 2016 season. You can view the full statement below.
