Donoho ‘actively pursuing’ new head football coach after deciding not to renew Sanders
The Donoho Falcons will go into the next football season with a new head coach after deciding to not renew head coach Mark Sanders.
“We are actively pursuing a new coach to lead us going forward,” athletics director Steve Gendron said.
Sanders, a former University of Alabama lineman, just completed his fifth season with the Falcons with a mixed bag of success. The Falcons posted back-to-back nine-win seasons in 2018 and 2019, reaching the second round of the playoffs each year, but the last two seasons had been a struggle.
His record at Donoho was 23-28.
The Falcons won their 2021 opener in a 25-0 shutout of Pleasant Valley, then were beset by injuries and didn’t win again until beating Talladega County Central 39-0 in their final region game.
The victory over PV marked the first time they had beaten a Calhoun County public school since 2006.
Sanders came to Donoho after three seasons at Victory Christian. [**read more]
