Quanah approves Matt Garrett as new head GBB coach, TXHSGBB confirmed on Saturday night. Garrett will be moving closer to family, as daughter Mason is playing golf at Midwestern State.
For Mount Pleasant Chapel Hill, the position that is now vacant will not be filled by external candidates as the school district is under a hiring freeze.
Other moves across the state
