Ken Colquette has resigned!

Tuesday November 4, 2014



Ken Colquette has resigned after two seasons as head coach of the Indians.    Colquette, 67, was hired to as Indians Head Coach in 2013 and the Indians went (5-6) and made the the first round of the TSSAA State Playoffs (Losing @ Polk Co. 49-7).   It seemed a young Indians team was ready to compete for the District 7AA title this year.   However some team defections before the season even started along with injuries and youth put the team in catch up mode all season.    What was expected to be fantastic season ended last Friday night at Signal Mountain (58-3) and a disappointing (3-7) season concluded.

Colquette was first successful as a head coach at Bridgeport (Ala.) before taking over at Marion County in 1980.   The Warriors won four state championships, were state runners-up twice and had just one losing season in his term. During one stretch in the mid-1990s, they went 56-1.

Colquette's overall record as a Head Coach  (257-94)
