| Mars Hill | |
Darrell Higgins built a juggernaut at Mars Hill but will take his talents to Russellville in 2026. Over the past ten seasons his Panthers went from 0-10 in his first season with the program to 15-0 in 2025 and a second consecutive state championship. He leaves Mars Hill with a record of 107-27 in those ten seasons and a playoff record of 29-5. 2026 Season Chris Hill brings more than 30 years of coaching experience at both the high school and collegiate levels. Hill arrives from El Dorado High in Arkansas, where he served as the head football coach the past three seasons. Before his time at El Dorado, Hill served as the offensive coordinator at Harding University. He was also a graduate of the college. | |
