Holy flee-flicker! It looks like Benton, Bryant, Bauxite and Harmony Grove will ALL have new head football coaches for the 2016-2017 school year. Scott Neathery of Benton just announced that he will move to the Athletic Director position at Benton Schools, leaving an open position for Panthers head football coach. Can you hear the resumes ruffling around the state?
Just for a recap,
- Paul Calley exited Bryant to come to replace Jimmy “Red” Parker at Harmony Grove
- Buck James exited Camden Fairview to replace Calley at Bryant
- Daryl Patton exited Fayetteville to replace Dustin Prescott at Bauxite, and now…
- Scott Neathery moves to a new position at Benton, leaving the Head Football Coach job OPEN… For now.
I’ll keep you updated when I find out who the next coach will be. This should make a very interesting fall for Saline County sports.
