2025 Head Football Coaching Changes

Shades Valley


     Reuben Nelson leaves Shades Valley after four seasons and a record of 15-22. His Mounties did not reach the playoffs in any of those years falling just short in several seasons. Actually they finished fifth every year in region play. Coach Nelson never could find the winning formula he had at Ramsay where his team won a state championship in 2016 and won ten games five different years.


2025 Season 

     George Bates takes over the reins at Shades Valley for the 2025 football season. He comes over from Center Point where in seven seasons his teams finished with a record of 52-30 and reached the playoffs every season. Over the course of his 14 year career he has compiled a record of 91-60 at Parker, Minor and Woodlawn.
