Evans, Duncan leave football staff

The comings and goings on the Pioneer football staffs continue, with assistant coaches Andy Evans and Brian Duncan leaving their respective positions recently.

Evans, who worked with the varsity staff under previous coach Heath Woods, was slated to join Wayne Warner and Wayne Wolford in working with the Pioneer freshmen this fall. But citing a desire to spend more time with his family, Evans stepped down from his position.

Duncan, a former Pioneer who joined Woods’ varsity staff last year and was to remain with coach Gerald Tidwell, has also stepped down, and has reportedly accepted a position with another school.

The loss of Evans and Duncan leaves John Dryden, Matt Turner and Chris Madewell as Tidwell’s varsity assistants, while Warner and Wolford currently make up the freshman staff. Warner, who took over the freshman program last season, is the only high school football coach remaining from last year’s team.
