A new coach leads Bolivar on a quest to win a 14th consecutive football conference championship.
He’s not really new.
Defensive coordinator Glen Johnson received an offseason promotion to head coach of the Liberators shortly after Lance Roweton resigned to become principal at Halfway High School.
Johnson set out to lead a team driven by youth through the offseason.
“It’s been busy but good. We’re a young bunch, but we’re confident in the kids that we’ve got. The junior class is strong,” Johnson said. “Obviously, Coach Roweton is a great coach. It’s one of those things I’ve been in town four years and his coordinator, so it kind of helps (the players) to have that familiar face around.
