Many head football coach Dillon Barrett resigned over the weekend following the Tigers winless season.

Barrett led Many for two seasons with a combined 9-13 record.

Barrett and his staff had to replace 26 seniors from a 10-3 squad that included program cornerstones like running back Jeremiah James, cornerback Tylen Singleton, and defensive end Swazy Carheel.
But the Tigers simply weren’t competitive in 2024, losing seven of their 10 games this season by at least 30 points with their closest result a 28-6 loss to Lakeside.

The season ended Friday with a 39-6 loss to Mansfield as Many lost all four of its District 3-2A games.
Barrett was part of Many’s streak of 10 straight district titles and a 39-game district winning streak that ended with the Lakeside loss.

The first nine district titles of that streak belongs to Jess Curtis, who guided Many to three state championships and three more championship appearances during his tenure.

The 2024 schedule was a difficult one, featuring non-district foes like Alexandria Senior High, Logansport, and Leesville.

District 3-2A is improved, but the Tigers scored just 22 points total in those four district games while allowing an average of more than 40 points.
