Sparkman head football coach announces retirement

Harvest, AL – After three seasons at the helm of the Sparkman High football program Chris Cagle has stepped down.

In addition to resigning as the Senator’s head football coach, Cagle announced  his intention to retire from the Madison County School System at the end of the 2016-2017 school year.

Under Cagle’s leadership the Senators posted an 11-19 record over the past three seasons.

The Clay County native’s 25 year coaching career included stops as an assistant at Anniston, Austin, Bob Jones,  Cleburne County and Sparkman.  He spent the 2004 and 2005 seasons as the head football coach at Walter Wellborn posting back to back 1-9 records.

Cagle’s five year head coaching record stands at 13-37.

Sparkman joins 7A, Region 4 foes Huntsville and Grissom in the head coaching market following the 2016 season.

Sparkman plans to have the Senator’s next head coach in place by March.
