Meet FHN’s New Football Coach

Brett Bevill used to just be a name heard in FHN’s hallways. Bevill was a liIMG_6889nebacker 14 years ago, but now he is known as the head coach of the FHN football team. This means big expectations from not only the students but from the community around FHN.

“We are going to go in everyday, trying to get better,” Bevill said. “Everyday you can look for something to get better at, I promise. As we do that all year, and we are playing as our best team, hopefully that will put together a successful season for us.”

To get ready for the next season, Bevill has been encouraging players to get into the weight room as soon as possible. To keep up the excitement for the season, Bevill has talked to other school sports to work out with the football team. So far he has only talked to the basketball team but he plans to implement a togetherness within school sports.

“It takes a lot of time to build lean muscle and by getting in the weight room now, we can all train to get better, faster and stronger so when the season comes around we only need to focus on our jobs on the field,” quarterback Connor Gallagher said.

With a new coach, many returning players can have a fresh start. To Bevill, it doesn’t matter what the players have done in the past but what they can do now. Overall, the team will have a fresh start with not only a new coach, but a new coaching staff as well to motivate and push the players.

“I think there are going to be some relationships that are going to be built with a new coach and a new coaching staff,” activities director Mike Janes said. “I think if kids are working hard and also having fun at it at the same time the kids will do a lot of things coaches will ask. It’s just like in the classroom, you work hard for your favorite teachers.”

For both Bevill and the players, this will be a whole new experience. The players will have to get comfortable with Bevill’s coaching style and the new staff. Bevill’s main struggles are trying to get to know everyone joining the team and helping them work as hard as they can in the off season.

“I mean anytime kind of being brand new it’s going to have some bumps in the road,” Bevill said. ”Really, for me kind of coming in and learning everything required as the head coach is going to take some time and a little bit to get used to but again we expect to go in, we expect from day one to compete.”
