Goose Creek – After an early flurry of resignations just after the end of the football season, high school football coaching vacancies continued to increase over the holidays.
The latest coaching vacancy comes at Chapman High School where coach Kevin Farmer announced earlier this week that he was stepping down as head coach.
Just after the season regular season ended, longtime Westside head coach Ted Luckadoo announced he was retiring from the business.
Just across the city, T.L. Hanna head coach Kenya Fouch announced he was stepping down in early December.
Union County coach David Lipsey, who transitioned the school after the merger of Jonesville and Union High School, announced his resignation just after the regular season ended.
In mid-December, Colleton County head coach and athletic director Leroy Riley announced he was stepping down and word on the street is that he will not pursue any other coaching opportunities.
Hilton Head High announced that head coach Tim Singleton will not return next season. Singleton has been mired in controversy all season, having served an early suspension for using an ineligible player.
Chesnee coach Brent Bridges announced in December he was leaving his post and is rumored to be a candidate at another opening.
Rumor also has it that at least one or two more head coaches will step down in the coming days, either to go into private business or to retire.
