Steve Wood relieved from duties as interim coach, now full head coach at Aledo. Spare the comments. Already roasted AISD in August as this should have been done pre-season.

Lesson: when it works, you promote from within.

Looking at you DeSoto and Skyline.

Ask TCU how that worked out.

Lufkin has selected a new defensive coordinator, no name has been released awaiting confirmation from the Lufkin School board which strongly indicates the hire is from outside the current Panther staff. Coach Quick just said a decision had been made and awaiting board confirmation, no names or indications of who they may be, very secret about it all, but said the new DC will probably be confirmed before the end of March. So let the guessing games begin, Personally have no clue at all, absolutely none. I plan to just wait and see.

Willie Hargett, who was already on our staff, is currently serving as interim Athletic Director. We are accepting applications now, and this week we plan to go through all those documents in order to consider possible candidates to interview. Our plans now are to conduct interviews during the week of March 16th….then we’ll go from there. Let me know if you need anything further. Thanks.

 

 

 

 

Sincerely,

Gilmer Supt. Rick Allbritton announced yesterday that Matt Turner - OC will be the lone candidate submitted to the School Board for the AD & HC for Gilmer Buckeyes...now, will this lead to hurt feelings & others on the Gilmer Staff to seek other opportunities?
