I've learned Todd Elliott is leaving Linden-Kildare as the Athletic Director/Head Football Coach to become an Assistant Coach on Barry Norton's staff at Texas High. Elliott, who was at Pleasant Grove before taking the job at Linden-Kildare, was 11-30 in four years with the Tigers.

He is a graduate of Atlanta High School and Austin College.

Midway DC Shane Anderson has been offered and has accepted the job as AD/Head Football Coach at (Waco) Connally. Anderson has been defensive coordinator at Midway & Tyler Lee, and was also an at Giddings.

Anderson is also a Connally HS graduate.

Anderson becoming the AD/Head Football Coach at Connally is pending school board approval with a scheduled meeting later this month.

If approved, Anderson will replace Mike Rabe, who is now the head football coach at Katy Mayde Creek. Rabe was 28-26 from 2010-2014 at Connally, including back-to-back playoff appearances in 2013 and 2014.

As I am sure many of you know, Lexington High School lost a beloved wife and educator during the Christmas Break. Hollee Muhl was the Principal of Lexington Middle School and the wife of Lexington Athletic Director, Kirk Muhl.

She suffered a head injury during a fall at the retirement dinner for their superintendent and was not able to be revived. She is survived by four children, ages sixth grade to two years of age. There is a benefit for her family this Sunday, March 8th.

Checks can be made to the Hollee Muhl Benefit.

Any kind of financial help will be greatly appreciated.

Chris Taber just told me he's resigned as AD/FB at Jacksonville High School to return as the offensive coordinator at Chapel Hill, He was 8-23 in 3-years at Jacksonville.

Taber informed everyone at Jacksonville High School of his decision on Tuesday.

He will replace Brad Baca, who is now the AD/Football Coach at Pittsburg High School.

Taber was the offensive coordinator at Chapel Hill before taking the job in Jacksonville.

I received an email this morning from Reggie Kumrow at Paul Pewitt High School, "I will not be the AD / Head Football Coach this next year at Paul Pewitt. My plan is to stay on as an assistant coach. This was all finalized last night."

Kumrow was 50-33 as the head football coach at Paul Pewitt, taking over from Brian Huckabay in 2008, including a 10-4 team in 2010. The Brahmas were 3-8 last season.

There are great men in coaching, Coach Kumrow is near the very top of class acts.
