Wasn't he the head coach at CJ a few years ago, before Brock was hired, and before he became an assistant principal?
I did some research. Kyle Williams was the head coach at CJ for 2 seasons, before he moved into administration and before Skip Brock came to CJ. Before Kyle came to CJ, he was head coach at Lamar for 2 years, and before that was a head coach out in Kansas. CJ won district championships both years that he coached here. Lamar won districts his second year there. Based on his coaching record, we should be in good hands. We just need more talent coming thru now.
East Carter voted to bring Jordan Penn back as head coach after the community rallied around him to be rehired after the school board voted to fire him from the same position.
Good to hear for a great guy who does a great job!

Always good to hear the community give their input in favor of a guy who more than likely did nothing to get fired in the first place.
Probably did no wrong other than pi$$ off the wrong BOE member(s).
Yeah, and not the first one. The problem is that even if the kid was playing full time and a good kid the poor coach may not be filling in all the blanks his parent has in his head.
Tough gig!
I just read on SEMO ball that Fred Johnson was hired at Kelly as the new boys' coach.
He was down around Hartville last I heard, right? Has he been coaching? Have kids that are HS aged?
Fred is almost old enough to have grandkids in HS, in fact plenty old enough. Great guy, he can tell a good story with the best of them. Right out of the Gene Bess coaching tree, he knows how hard you need to work to be successful.
I have no idea where he’s been the last several years. I did have the pleasure of briefly meeting him about five years ago at a Jv tournament in Bell City.
Had a son that played at Hartville and then transferred to Willard. That couldn't have been more than a few years ago. I knew Fred was working in Springfield at the time. Not sure what he was doing though.
That Fred Johnson is from Wellsville, he did play at 3R too, then SMS. His son Houston played at Hartville then Willard.
That's the one I was thinking of! Thanks 3R. I knew Oran didn't sound right...but too lazy to look it up. I was confused for sure. Doesn't take much with me.
