“Make the big time where you are.”
Doug Kerr firmly believes high school football is big time under the Friday night lights no matter where the game is played. His plans for Iola High Mustang football as head coach is to continue to push the program on its forward journey.
“I told the boys when I met with them Monday that when those lights come on Friday nights in the fall, it doesn’t matter where you are playing, it is big time. I want the Iola players to realize there’s more to football than just showing up and playing a game,” Kerr said.
Kerr returns to Kansas after coaching and teaching in Florida for 14 years. He is a native of Derby where he played football, basketball, baseball and wrestled for Derby High School.
