Smith steps down as Conway football coach
LOG CABIN DEMOCRAT
There will soon be a new head coach for the Conway High football team.
After 18 years of service, Kenny Smith will step aside to accept other
responsibilities in the Conway Public School District, according to school
officials.
Smith finished his tenure with a 129-75 (63.2 percent) record with the
Wampus Cats. He had coached in Conway for 25 years in all and won six
conference championships, as well as played in the 1993 Class AAAAA state
title game.
"No one bleeds Wampus Cat Blue any more than Coach Smith," Conway
superintendent Greg Murry Said. "Our district and our community appreciate
all that he has done to bring pride to our football program. We wish him the
very best as he begins a new chapter in his professional career."
The Cats have had their rough times in recent seasons, including a 2-8
record this past season. Conway, which has not made the state playoffs since
2006, also went 3-7 in 2007.
Murry said the district will immediately begin the process of finding a
replacement for Smith.
