I would like to send my deepest condolences and prayers to the entire Cromartie Family. As long as I knew Coach Doug Cromartie, he was always a man who strived for building and uplifting his community. He was a great mentor and coach for many student-athletes in Columbus (GA), Phenix City (AL), and surrounding counties. He will truly be missed. ------Marvin Broadwater, Jr.
