Head Football Coach Bruce Ollis celebrated a true milestone in high school football; 100 wins at a single high school and perhaps most impressively in 11 years. Coach Ollis was quick to credit others. “I told someone after the game I saw a lot of people standing around the victory celebration at the 50 yard line that were there 11 years ago when we went 2-9. There have been a lot of people that have been behind us,” Ollis said. “We’ve had some great players, incredible administrative support, super coaching staff and that’s a winning combination.
I been blessed to be in a place where all those things have come together at one time and I have been the beneficiary of that. I’ve said one of the best things that ever happened to the Ollis family was moving to Polk County.”
In terms of his most memorable win Coach Ollis did not hesitate.
