Back home at his alma mater of Pike County, new coach Mark Hurt is intent on getting the Bulldogs back to the level of competing for championships.
It will be a steep hill to climb after the school went winless a year ago, but the veteran coach with more than 25 years of experience – 13 of those as a head coach – is confident he can build the program back up. He replaces Fred Holland, who resigned in November.
When he met with his new players for the first time, Hurt talked about the players and coaches being in it together. Hurt had retired from coaching, but helping to build his alma mater back to where it once was intrigued him. His 13 years of head coaching experience is highlighted by three successful seasons at Blount’s head coach from 2012-14 where the Leopards went 22-11 and reached the state playoffs all three years. The tenure was highlighted by a 9-2 season in 2013.
