New faces in new places

There is always change in the coaching ranks during the offseason and this year was no different. From small schools to big school there are plenty of new faces and a few from the past mixed in that will make this season even more interesting.

The two biggest names to be hired this offseason is Spring Hill's hire of former Harrisonville and Staley Coach Fred Bouchard and Raymore-Peculiar's hire of former Kearney and Liberty North Coach Greg Jones. The two multiple state championship coaches are back in the area after Bouchard spent the last few years at MICDS in St. Louis and Jones was in the college ranks at Oregon and the University of Central Missouri.

Below is the list of coaching changes heading into the 2025 season.
