2026 Head Football Coaching Changes



Coosa Christian - Rush Propst stepped into the head coaching position at Coosa Christian when someone needed to fill the shoes of suspended head coach Mark O'Bryant for the season. All he did was take the Conquerors to the championship game in Birmingham and bring home the first Blue Map in school history.

O'Bryant will return in 2026 to a team loaded with talent in hopes of a return trip to the championship game in Mobile in 2026.

2026 Season - Mark OBryant returns as the head coach at Coosa Christian after serving his one season suspension per the AHSAA. He will inherit a squad that won the Class 2A state championship in December and a talented group of returning players.



Mars Hill - Darrell Higgins

2026 Season - Vacant



Providence Christian - Kenny Keith retired from his position as head football coach in December. After fifteen seasons leading the program he put together a 91-62 record at the school. He led the team to the playoffs nine times including the last three seasons. Providence will now be in search of just the third head coach since the school first played varsity football in 2006.

2026 Season - Evan Ballard



St. James - Larry Ware served as interim head football coach during the 2025 season filling the void when Aubrey Blackwell left the position. Now the Trojans will be in search of their fifth head coach in as many years. Just three short years ago St. James defeated Piedmont to claim the school's first ever state championship under Jimmy Perry. Since then it has been one and done for the head coaching position.

The Trojans' have built a winning tradition the past decade and hopes are high those winning ways will continue with the right hire. Look for a long list of candidates for this job.

2026 Season - Hayden Stockton
