SchoolCenter Picture

The Raiders new head football coach is Jay Murphree.  Coach Murphree replaces longtime coach Donnie Tennison, who resigned at the end of the 2009 season.  He has served as an assistant coach for the Raiders for the past three years.  "My goal for the Raider football program is to become competitive and put ourselves in a position for a district title year in year out" says Murphree.  Coach Murphree believes the Raiders are capable of this through hard work from both the players and coaches. We want a great effort in the classroom as well as on the football field, and to project a positive image in doing what it takes to be a sucessful program.

 Coach Murphree's coaching career resume includes a record of 75/23, West TN Coach of the year in 2005, NE LA Coach of the year in 2000, Semi Finals in 2005, 1997 and 1996, Quarter Finals in 2006, 2003, 2002, 2001 and 2000.

Good luck to Coach Murphree and the Raiders as they reach for their goals in the years to come!
