Former Tigers Boulware, Jesse brought back

Corsicana — Phil Castles is getting close to having his complete football staff for the Tigers back intact.

In the last few weeks, he has brought back two former Tigers, passing game coordinator Shade Boulware and co-defensive coordinator Gary Jessie.

On Monday night, secondary coach Bubba Wallace was approved by the school board. Wallace, who comes from Sunnyvale, coached with Castles when they were assistants at Sulphur Springs a decade ago.

Jessie still has to be approved at the next CISD school board meeting.

“We’ve brought in good people,” Castles said. “Shade and Gary are well thought of in the community. And Bubba I know really well.”

Castles and executive director of extracurricular activities Billy Harlan still have one more coach to hire.

Castles is having to replace four assistant coaches. Offensive coordinator Matt Langley left for the same position at the new Georgetown East View High School. Receivers coach Collin Trulove also went to East View as the passing game coordinator.

Defensive line coach Grand George left to be the offensive coordinator at Harmony. And co-defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach Zach Vassar left to be assistant head coach and DC at Brownsboro.
