Central High School again is looking for a football coach.

Principal Finley King confirmed Tuesday night that Gary Bloodsaw had been relieved of his duties as the Purple Pounders coach.

“We’re going to move in a different direction, go back to the drawing board,” King said. “We’ll get back to looking again.”

Bloodsaw was the Pounders’ fourth head football coach this decade and their seventh 16 seasons into this century.

The 2015 team was winless and scored no more than 14 points in any game.
