I spoke with Brett Ratliff this afternoon and he's been reassigned by the superintendent. Obviously, he was disappointed, but he understands the business.

He will remain as the AD until New Diana I.S.D. hires a new head football coach.

Ratilff was 16-26 in four-years with the Eagles, two playoff teams, but 0-10 in 2015.

As I try and do throughout and after the high school football season, I've updated each program's historical section, including win-loss record, decade record, playoff appearances and individual records.

While it's next to impossible to have everything, it's not from the lack of trying. And, as I've always said, the records section is a constant, "Work In Progress," so if you see something that's incorrect or something that should be added, EMAIL me at [email protected] or [email protected].

And, here's the link to that section that also includes the latest coaching staff updates:

There are still some programs we're finishing up or haven't heard from so we're working on them too.

Thank you.

Click here for quotes from Mike Owens on being recommended as the new AD/Head Football Coach at Frankston High School.

Terry Ward sent me a message earlier on Wednesday saying he's accepted the job as AD/Head Football Coach at Harleton High School.

Ward had a spectacular 66-15 record (2009-2014) as AD/Head Football Coach at Tenaha, including the 2011 State Championship Team.

Ward will replace Jackie Lloyd who announced his retirement.
