Central head coach John Allen watches his team work during a Friday scrimmage with Grace Academy.John Allen has resigned as the football coach at Central High after just three seasons.
Allen got the Pounders into the Class 4A postseason but they lost a first-round game at Sequoyah last week to finish the season at 5-6. It was still an improvement and equaled the win total Allen's teams had over his first two seasons at the school when Central went 2-8 in 2012 and 3-7 in 2001. The playoff appearance was Central's first since 2010.
