Terrance Banks, who led Class A Greene County to 10-2 and 8-3 finishes in his two seasons there, is Central Gwinnett’s new football coach.
Gwinnett County Schools approved the hire Friday.
Banks will replace Larry Harold, who was 12-18 in three seasons. Central, a Region 8-6A school, was 4-6 in 2024 and last had a winning season in 2015.
