Head coach Zach Massengill was relieved of his duties in the week following the Yellowjackets' first round loss to Shelby Valley in the first week of November. Massengill was 10-40-1 in his 5 year tenure as head coach, and 1-10 in his final season at Middlesboro.

Has anyone heard anything further about Coach French heading to Middlesboro? It was confirmed that he was looking for houses in the area. No announcements that I've heard as of yet, though.

French had the AD from Great Crossing trying to get him to interview after news of his resignation at Southwestern hit. Sounds like French sniffed around Scott County and then said no thanks. I'm hearing Middlesboro is supposed to be naming him as the official hire later this week.

Press conference for French is tomorrow at 4:00pm at the school cafeteria. Great hire for the Jackets that will help bring them back. With the new district and region I suspect French will win a region in the next 3 years. Maybe more than 1.
