STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI) – Usually this time of year we hear about high school players, taking their talents to the next level, but in Starkville, it’s the coach who will be moving on.
Hinds Community College announced this afternoon that Starkville Head Football Coach Chris Jones will be taking over as Head Coach of the Eagles.
Jones chalked up an impressive 84 and 25 record at Starkville High, and led the Yellowjackets to 3 North State Titles and one State Championship.
