Gordon Walters Resigns as White Knoll Athletic Director, Coach

White Knoll High School's athletic director and football coach Gordon Walters is leaving Lexington County School District One, according to reports.

Walters is taking an assistant coaching position as defensive coordinator and strength coach at Waccamaw High School in Pawley's Island, according to a report in The State. He'll finish the school year at White Knoll.

Walters, who started as a coach for the Timberwolves in 2009, took on the position of athletic director on what was supposed to be an interim basis, according to The State. After three years in both positions, the avid surfer says he's ready to slow down. 

“This move will not come as a surprise to the people who know me,” Walters said. “It’s been a very positive experience here at White Knoll, but my family and I are desperate to get back to the beach.”

Walters led the Timberwolves to their first winning season ever and to the 4A playoffs four times. 

Lexington One now has two athletic director positions to fill. Lexington High Head Football Coach and Athletic Director Scott Earley resigned earlier this month.
