Reviewed: Hal Stowe
Comment: More biographical information will be available once Presbyterian publishes a bio of him on their athletics site and more news stories break; head coaching record is currently incomplete (does not include record for 2002 and 2003 seasons) but I will add those when I find them.

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - Both hooks are over 200 characters

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Everything looks good, except the hook needs work. It's a bit long. Maybe "... that Presbyterian head football coach Kevin Kelley won nine state championships as a high school coach by rarely punting and almost always attempting fourth down conversions?" (That's 174 characters vs. 209 -- a little shorter.) [As a note, the Copyvio report shows possible violation, but it is a direct quotation.] QuakerSquirrel (talk) 15:34, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

QuakerSquirrel, thanks for the review. I have added your suggested ALT2, which sounds great to me. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 20:39, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Approved with ALT2 hook. Thanks, PCN02WPS. It looks good. I haven't used the reviewer template before, so I'm not sure whether I leave the "x" next to the hook length above for the historical record, or if I should change it to a check mark. Please let me know if I need to change it to a check mark. QuakerSquirrel (talk) 13:26, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  - QuakerSquirrel, no need to go back and change it - the tick mark at the start of your approval is all that matters! Thanks again for taking the time to review. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 14:45, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
