Gatesville, Holland and Moody are nearing the end of their searches for head football coaches.

However, Class 4A Lampasas is just beginning its quest for a new football coach after electing to split the coaching responsibilities from those of the athletics director.

Lampasas filled the AD post last week with the hiring of former San Angelo Lake View and Smithville coach Joey McQueen.

At Class 3A Gatesville, superintendent Rick Copp and his people have had a major screening task. They point to a late February decision on a new athletics director-head football coach.
