Another high school football coach resigns. This time it's Philip Shadowens from Blackman.

This came just nine days after Oakland High's Coach Thomas McDaniel gave county officials his notice of heading to Memphis as head coach at Christian Brothers High School.

Blackman High School principal Dr. Leisa Justus has announced that Philip Shadowens will no longer serve as coach for the school's football program.

"I met today with Philip Shadowens to discuss the future of the Blackman High School football program, and I have accepted his resignation as head coach. Mr. Shadowens and I have differing philosophies on the manner in which the program should be managed.

"Blackman football has afforded our students many opportunities, and I want to maintain that strong and proud heritage," Justus said. "As such, I plan to form a search committee consisting of a variety of stakeholders. The committee will be charged with conducting a wide and thorough search to identify the very best candidate that exemplifies Blackman's tradition of distinction."
