BREAKING.......Union's Joe Spatafora is heading north to take over the Drew Central program in Monticello, Arkansas.

Spatafora built the Farmers into one of the most feared programs in the state. Under his watch, the Farmers played a physical brand of football that led to two state championships and three runner-up finishes.

Spatafora tells us this was a position and an opportunity he could not turn down.

Former Arcadia head coach Dmitri Carr is now on the Farmers staff and is considered the front runner to land the job.


This shakes up North LA high school football…

Ouachita's football coach stepped down earlier this week.

MONROE, La. (KNOE) - Ouachita High School is looking for a new head football coach as Benjy Lewis steps down to take a new role in school administration.

The championship coach was introduced as Good Hope Middle School’s newest assistant principal on May 12 at the Ouachita Parish School Board meeting.

Lewis led the Ouachita Lions to the Division I Non-Select State Championship with an 11-4 record this past season. It was Ouachita’s second-ever football state championship.

If the school is just now finding out about this, that’s late as hell to be trying to find a new coach. I realize he probably teaches too and had to stay for the rest of the academic year, but man, we’re closer to the start of next season than we are the end of the last one. Don’t even get to do spring ball with the new coach.
