Former Dora High School head coach Rick Luna will be hired as the head coach of Viola High in Arkansas, the program's Facebook page wrote on Tuesday.

Luna just led the Dora Falcons to a Class 1 state title.

According to the West Plains Daily Quill, Luna's contract as Dora's high school principal was not renewed after a 5-1 vote by the Dora School Board during its February meeting — before the Falcons played in the state championship. No reason was given for the board's vote regarding the coach and principal.
