Earlier this week it was reported that after 15 seasons, Salina South and long-time head coach Sam Sellers would be parting ways.
Sellers assumed head coaching duties midway through the 2009 campaign and led the Cougars to a stretch of three consecutive ten-win seasons from 2012-2014, including several deep playoff runs.
In a public statement, the administration of South High said “We would like to offer our sincere thanks to Coach Sellers for his many years of dedicated service to our student-athletes and our athletic program at Salina South High School.”
Reached for comment, the long-time head coach reminisced about how much his time as the leader of the Cougars meant to him.
“I bleed green and gold and I love everything about South High,” Sellers said. “Not just the football program but all of our students and activities. It’s crazy how fast time goes but if I had a time machine I’d do it all over again in a heartbeat.”
