This Week in TXHSFB; Abilene interviews; Naaman Forest looks to the Sun City; Seminole stays inside

Abilene High begins interviews
Abilene High, which has been going through spring football under interim head coach and former DC Mike Fullen, will start up interviews for its vacant HFC position this week. The smart money is on the internal candidate and current interim HC Mike Fullen, who led the Eagles through spring practice. We’ll see if the district throws us all a curveball and considers an outside candidate despite all signs pointing to an inside hire. Reports are several head coaches are interviewing including candidates from DFW, Houston, San Antonio, the Coastal Bend and the Panhandle.

Garland Naaman Forest looks way out west
After the departure of Marvin Sedberry, Jr. last month, Garland ISD went as far west as you could go and still remain in Texas to nab its next head coach as El Paso Del Valle HC Jesse Perales was named Tuesday night to lead the Rangers. Perales spent 15 outstanding seasons at Del Valle posting a 125-50 record for the Conquistadores, including a pair of third round playoff appearances. Perales has a tie to Garland ISD, as the GISD superintendent Ricardo Lopez hired Perales when he was the principal at Del Valle back in 2004. The challenge will be great for one of El Paso’s best coaches as he comes to DFW with little time to build a staff or get the Rangers ready for 2019 as Naaman Forest has already gone through spring practice.
