He didn't coach but was in charge of the film crew. He had that responsibility.

At least, that was what I was told.

You are right but that was his choice. I was told that responsibility will be passed on to a current football on staff not the new basketball coach. I was told that the new coach will only be coaching basketball and track. My source could be wrong.

This is good news. Would attract better applicants.

I don’t believe HF has ever had a coach that didn’t have football duties….

HF has always been football dominant school

absolutely. Coach Kenebrew is a great guy, and did a great job at HF, and I wish him nothing but the best. He's definitely bettered his situation. HF just isn't capable of paying what some other area districts can afford to pay, which makes it tough to attract/keep quality coaches.

KJ Johnson, girls basketball coach at Liberty, has been hired to be the new head boys basketball coach at Hamshire-Fannett.

Congrats Coach Johnson.
