2024 Class 7A Coaching Changes
2024 Head Football Coaching Changes | |
St. James | |
Neal Posey stepped down in February to accept a job as an assistant coach at the collegiate level. Posey joined the St. James coaching staff in 2015 as the running backs, wide receivers and special teams coach. In 2018, he was promoted to offensive coordinator and finally last season got his shot as the head football coach replacing Jimmy Perry. His lone team finished 11-3 falling short of repeating as state champions losing to Mobile Christian in the semi-finals of the playoffs. 2024 Season Aubrey Blackwell was named the head coach in March as he returns to the Montgomery area sidelines. He served as an assistant coach at St. Paul's Episcopal in 2010 and 2011 and followed Perry to St. James a year later to serve as the offensive coordinator in 2013 and 2014. Blackwell was the head coach at Jackson Academy in Mississippi the past two seasons with a record of 17-9. He built the football program at Catholic Montgomery into a championship team in his six seasons. His teams combined for a 54-19 record including a loss in the state championship game in 2020. Blackwell is a former quarterback at Robert E. Lee in Montgomery so he is very familiar with the area. |
