During the Longview Lobos 45-0 win against Sulphur Springs on Friday, there was a public disagreement on the sideline involving defensive coordinator John Berry and head coach John King. It ended with Coach Berry leaving the field during the game.
I was told by sources within Longview I.S.D. on Sunday morning Coach Berry would be reassigned within the district.
That was made official on Monday and Coach Berry will remain as a teacher within the science department at Longview High School.
Meanwhile, Casey Pearce will assume full-time duties as the defensive coordinator and Johnny Hamilton will take over coaching the linebackers. Hamilton has been working within the athletic department with A.D. Pat Collins.
