JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – It has been a very busy offseason for high school football teams in the area as the head coaching changes encroach on nearly 20.
Parker and Riverside were the latest two area teams to announce that vacancies there had been filled. The Braves hired Ronald Hendricks to replace Mike Holloway, and the Generals tabbed Jerrand Nesmith to take over for Antwan Nicholas. Nesmith heads to Riverside from Impact Christian.
