[Hidden Content] Ninety-nine wins and nine playoff appearances in 11 seasons is what helped Don Price become one of the three finalists for the Hamshire-Fannett athletic director/football coaching job. But in Price’s 11-year tenure as athletic director at Barbers Hill, every sports team made the playoffs at least two times. Those were among the reasons why Monday the Hamshire-Fannett ISD hired the 58-year-old. “I don’t know if you go in with any preconceived ideas, but you establish a good work ethic,†Price said. “You just work hard as you can.†Price, along with Hamshire-Fannett baseball coach Wayne Mahaffey and Trinity ISD coach Chuck Langston, met the school board in a two-hour, 47-minute-span in a closed session. The trio interviewed at different points and when all three were done, the seven-person board unanimously voted for Price. Hamshire-Fannett superintendent Keith Elliott said the board met with all three candidates because they wanted to get a good feel for who would take over the program.
