A Gainesville great, E.L. Cabbell, died Saturday at his home in Lexington, N.C. Cabbell coached football, basketball and track at Fair Street School in the 1950s and ’60s. He led the varsity football team to set several records but was more than a coach to his players, according to Jalasker Lyles, a player on the championship ’56 and ’57 football team at Fair Street. “He would come visit us at our house, he would talk to our parents and he would see that our grades were good,” Lyles said.
