Harleton Names Lloyd Interim AD/Football Coach
Lloyd, who has been the head baseball coach at Harleton for ten years, will take immediate control of the football program while replacing Dennis Alexander who left for the AD/Head Football job at Troup, "I just thank Dr. Coleman and the school board for giving me this opportunity to advance my career to a position I've always wanted."
Lloyd was the head baseball coach and football assistant at Marshall before Harleton.

Troup to hire Dennis Alexander on Monday

Daingerfield @ QC
1 hour ago, KrookedWolfe said:It's been a rough season so far and we've taken loses that I feel like they should've won. We obviously have the players, but just need direction and put in a situation to succeed. I'm still optimistic about how the season will end and how they'll perform in the playoffs. There are all kinds of doubt from the outside as well as Tiger fan base, but I think things will get on track soon.
No need for doubt @KrookedWolfe DF is about to get primed for a playoff run. The fan base mind set will change after the next two weeks. Been hit in the mouth with that pre-district and that ain’t ever fun.Â
