Pleasure Ridge Park names Keith May head football coach of the Panthers. Coach May has been head coach at Iroquois High School in Louisville for the past three seasons.

When May arrived at Iroquois prior to the start of the 2023 football season, the Raiders hadn't won more than 2 football games in any single season for a half-decade, and May led the team to a 4-6 season in 2025...the programs most wins they have seen in a single season since 2014.

"I am very proud and excited to be named the new Head Football Coach at Pleasure Ridge Park High School. This is a community and school who value academic and athletic achievement, and I am humbled to be given the opportunity to lead this wonderful football program. I would like to thank Mr. Stinson and Mr. Waddell for the opportunity. We will work with a "blue collar mentality" everyday in our approach to become a better football team and give our team, our school, and our community a team they can be proud of!"

Congrats to Coach May!

 

With Coach May’s 3 year tenure at St. X, and with the transition to a new HC (TBD) at St. X, I wonder if any of the current Tiger assistant coaches might end up at PRP on Coach May’s staff?
