Former Harnett Central assistant football coach Patrick Turner has been
named the new head football coach at Harnett Central High School,
N&O preps editor Tim Stevens reports from the press conference.
Turner, 28, is a graduate of Fuquay-Varina High School (playing football
under Phillip Howard there) and coached at Central for two seasons,
serving as an assistant varsity coach and head junior varsity coach
there. He coached the Central JVs in standout quarterback Brian Taylor's
freshman season.
Taylor is now a senior and one of several returning offensive starters
in the Trojans' lineup for 2010.
"I'm not going to change things," Turner said. "But I'm going to add
things."
Central was the state runner-up in 2010 in the 4-A classification,
finishing with a 14-1 record. The Trojans return the bulk of their
offensive lineup for the 2010 season, including highly-regarded
quarterback Brian Taylor.
Marc Morris resigned from the head coaching football and baseball
positions at Harnett Central in April to become the head football coach
at the new Cleveland High School in eastern Johnston County.
