Pair of head coaching vacancies filled
Two Arkansas high school coaching vacancies have been filled, as Harrison and Lonoke high schools both announced hirings Wednesday.
Harrison announced on social media the hiring of former Riverview Coach Chris Keylon.
Keylon is a former Harrison assistant who spent six seasons with the Goblins as defensive coordinator before becoming Riverview's head coach last season. In one season with the Raiders, Keylon's team finished 5-6.
He replaces Joel Wells, who resigned in January to focus on his role as Harrison's assistant athletic director and golf coach.
The Lonoke School Board approved the hiring of Perryville football coach and athletic director Chris Norton on Tuesday and announced his hiring Wednesday morning.
