If I have the right guy, I'm pretty sure he was at Piggott and then went to Delta C7 in Missouri this past year? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Delta C-7 High School in Missouri is what his twitter said

From what I hear this is actually for the Mt. Judea campus after long time coach Carl Cook passed away during the season this year. It will be for all 4 teams.
I'd kind of like to see a girls list like this too. If anyone else wants to do that research.

Sloan-Hendrix, I believe, got their next Head Boys Coach. Anyone know any information who they hired?
Hearing that Mt Vernon-Enola is open
Camden Fairview Jr high boys AND girls open.
Jessieville boys is now open. Now both boys and girls will have new coaches next year!
Norfork hired Will Stevens. A new coach that graduated from Arkansas Tech.

Is this true? What do they have returning?
They inherit a group that has either won or competed for three district titles. The parents there put a ton of heat on coach Rodgers. Funny, he led them to the state title game 8 years ago and turned down offers to stay, now they have been all over him. Need thick skinned demeanor whoever takes it

Confirmed it today...Rodgers has stepped down... And they're best returning player left for guy-perkins a few weeks ago....so not sure what's coming back

I have no idea, I've never heard of him. Someone said they think he may have come from Missouri, but I'll try and find out
If a school has opening Rodgers from MVE would be a good one. MVE will struggle to replace him. I don't know any particulars, and dont need to. I just know he can coach. Which is unusual these days. Not many out there that are allowed to run their teams.

I don't think some in the mve area really understood just how little he's had to work with since that runner up team 10 years ago....
Kids played hard and were competitive. Those folks fixin to find out though. Good coaches are scarce. People are wise to not go in the coaching profession, especially at high school level for what it pays. Start your list of good coaches,
Marion sounds like an attractive job. Lot of talent coming up
Anyone hear who Sloan & Wynne hired?
Jessieville hired Jared White. He was Assistant Senior boys and head junior boys at Dardanelle
Sloan-Hendrix has hired Riley Jenkins.
Per the Carroll County News, Green Forest has hired Donnie Smith. He comes over from Perryville.

No relation. Riley Jenkins is from Norwood, Missouri

It has been posted on the 1A board that Johnny Taylor has been hired at Caddo Hills. That means Valley Springs boys is open.
So they're going to replace a state champion coach who brought this program out of the ashes (it was bad...horribly bad) to 30-5 last year and hand it over to a kid with no experience? That's not fair to anyone in thjs scenario.
Good luck with that one, Imboden. You messed up big time.

That was my thoughts too.... But if the parent situation is like it sounds up there...then they'll like having a kid coaching since they may be able to push him around...
Matt Carter new boys coach at Cutter.
Valley Springs, Sloan Hendrix and MVE, have one thing in common:::: Have had someone that knew how to coach---you can count all good ones and not use all your fingers---and parents/fans/adminsitrators ran them off. Hope the best for the kids.

They must think he can get them "fired up". I bet he walked in and said two words "fired up". Lol
RIP thebigtiger. Welcome to Fearless Friday thebigrebel!
We'll see if he can figure out how to crack the bball code at football heavy highland. Some good coaches have tried and failed.
He will win lots of games just by getting on the bus. Lots of talent there right more. Hire is a head scratcher but good talent right now there.
Well, who knows
Who is us?

If you're asking me, I am a proud parent and fan of Midland Mustangs.
Lol. Well Midland is not the crown jewel of scrolls by any means. And pretty sure both your coaches won more games than him. He didn't make region in girls if I recall with maybe the best player in the conf so I don't think very highly of your credibility coming on here dogging any coach without any stats to back any of it other than your opinion.
Well since I dont have a home school maybe I can shed a little light on this subject. the coach at Timbo started off hot and then imploded when the pressure got hot but that is pretty common with rookie inexperienced coaches. Now that being said he did just as well as some of the more experienced coaches did like the young lady at shirley and the guy at concord(cant spell his name) (Smothers maybe) or some of the boys coaches as well so it seemed to be across the board in that conference! Only got to see a few games after I moved out of that craphole of clinton but I might have to move back! But in any form Im ready for some hoops and hope the coaching in this area gets a whoooolllleee lot better in the offseason!

Head scratcher for people that prob aren't very intelligent. Great hire and must have been the best candidate. Heard more than 1 person say that he may have been for sure the best girls coach in that conference and in the top 2 in boys

Best player in the conference?? You mean that left handed girl who scored 25 on 25 shots a game? Hardly best player in the conference. Goodness, I'll tell ya what though, there were a few coaches who underachieved. Teams with a lot more overall talent who have underachieved for years under their current coaches. I don't know what stats you want to back that up...i mean it's just opinion on who's talented and more talented and less talented etc...just saying what I think.
And Fearless is an opinion board that is for sure if you know what I mean
I heard the Timbo faithful was wanting that Steve Carrell looking coach back that was there a few years back about mid way through the season

We have a big tiger spotting folks! Talking abt his favorite subject no less! What user name will you use when you go to highland? I don't get on the 4a boards often but I will if you can bring this brand of crazy!
I think you should keep the big tiger handle.

There wasn't any talent to speak of in Flippin and none on the way I believe.

Will Perryville have quite a bit of talent returning next year on senior boys? They were pretty good this year.

Looks like Umpire will be a tough job.
