St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School has named John W. Hargis II as head football coach for the 2013–14 season. Hargis will succeed varsity coach Ellis Mayfield, who will retire at the end of this school year.
Hargis holds a B.S. in physical education with a minor in athletic coaching from Middle Tennessee State University. He has more than 14 years of coaching experience, including AAU girls’ basketball and football at the little league, middle school and high school levels.
Since 2002, Hargis has served as a teacher and coach for Grundy County schools. He joined the SAS football program as defensive coordinator in 2011. In addition to coaching football, Hargis will coach two other sports, assist with the school’s Adventure Education classes, teach middle school physical education, serve as an advisor and weekend team member and provide daily coverage for the school’s Owen Student Union.
“John Hargis knows SAS football after being our defensive coordinator for the past two years, and he believes in what we are about,” said Fr. Mayfield. “He loves the game and has a great rapport with our athletes. I think he will do an outstanding job.”
Although a member of TSSAA in most sports, St. Andrew’s-Sewanee School plays eight-man football in the Middle Tennessee Athletic Conference. The Mountain Lions finished the regular season as MTAC co-champions with an 8-3 overall record and a 5-1 conference record.
