Shannon Williams has been named as the next head football coach at Ooltewah High School, Ooltewah principal Mark Bean said Friday morning.
Williams had been coaching the Owls offensive line and was running the day-to-day football operations since Benny Monroe retired last month.
“Shannon is a teacher first and as an ex-football coach I know that the best coaches are great teachers,” Bean said about his decision. “He is a great motivator and when I told the players, they gave a standing ovation. That felt good to have that affirmation from the players about the decision.”
