Perry Pumas Pursue Experienced Coordinator
The Perry Pumas, a perennial power in 6A Arizona high school football, are reportedly targeting an experienced coordinator to fill a key position on head coach Joe Newton's staff. Sources indicate the Pumas are eyeing a veteran play-caller with a decade of experience in the state, including a stint as the coordinator at rival Gilbert High, where he helped lead the team to a 45-15 record over five seasons. A hire would not only bolster the Pumas' chances in the competitive 6A South region but also impact recruiting, as the coordinator's departure from Gilbert High could influence several top prospects considering the program. Newton's staff has been a major factor in the Pumas' success, and this move could be a key component in the team's bid for a state championship in 2026.
