Kevin McKenzie catches a pass during Central’s football practice Tuesday, but he also is one of the Pounders’ linebackers.
Connie Hay, Central High football coach Ryan Mallory, booster club president James Walker and county commissioner Chester Bankston meet at Central High.Chattanooga Central High School apparently will again have a new football coach.
Sources at the school confirmed Friday that Ryan Mallory, after just one year, has resigned.
It is thought that Gary Bloodsaw, first-year offensive coordinator on the Pounder staff this season, will be named the successor.
Mallory, who led the Pounders into the Class 4A playoffs, completed his first head coaching season with a 6-5 record and a third-place District 6-AA finish behind Hixson and Red Bank.
