This Week in Texas High School Football: A five-star transfer, Marshall moves quickly and Spradlin returns to the sidelines

McKinney Boyd expected to name new head coach this week
It appears that McKinney Boyd is winding down its search and should name its next head coach by the end of this week. A strong group of candidates interviewed including state title winning head coaches from East Texas, Central Texas and a very successful head coach from West Texas. A couple of internal coordinators interviewed as well, but it appears a late mystery candidate from the DFW area could also be in the running for this job.
