Edna trustees to interview AD/coach candidate Thursday

The Edna ISD Board of Trustees will meet Thursday morning in a special executive session to interview a candidate for its now vacant position of athletic director and head football coach.

Former AD and football coach Jimmie Mitchell has stepped down from his leadership role over the district’s athletic program after five seasons in charge.

Mitchell led the Cowboys football team to a 6-6 record and the Class 3A Div. 1 regional round in his first season, then coached the team to three consecutive state semifinal games, going 34-8 in that span.
