Two new coaching positions have opened up in Franklin County following the resignations of the Red Bay High School varsity girls’ basketball coach and the Tharptown High School varsity baseball coach, which were accepted at the July 18th meeting of the Franklin County Board of Education.
Brady Ramey resigned as the coach of the Lady Tigers basketball program and was then promptly hired as principal of Red Bay High School at the Board meeting.
“Brady Ramey has experience as an administrator in the past, and there’s no question he’ll do a fabulous job as principal,” Franklin County Superintendent Greg Hamilton said. “His qualifications are very good, not only as a coach but as an administrator. That’s why we moved him to administration.”
At Tharptown High School, Thomas Horton stepped down as head coach of the Wildcats’ baseball team. Horton remains in the system and has taken on a bus route, according to Tharptown High School principal Tyler Berryman.
Both jobs have been posted, and, according to Hamilton, the Franklin County Board of Education is looking to make hires for the two coaching roles soon.
“We hope to fill both positions at the August 6th Board meeting,” Hamilton said.
