A former Kosciusko Whippet is taking the reins of a Mississippi high school football program.
Franklin County High School announced this week the hiring of Jamario Winters as its new head football coach.
After graduating from Kosciusko in 2007, Winters continued his football career at Ouachita Baptist University before transferring to Ole Miss, where he finished his collegiate playing career.
His coaching career has included stops at his alma mater, Kosciusko High School, as well as Choctaw County and Starkville High School.
Winters was part of the coaching staff at Choctaw County that won the 2024 3A State Championship, giving him championship experience as he prepares to lead the Bulldogs program.
Franklin County will open the 2026 football season Friday, Aug. 28 on the road against rival North Pike.
