Lawson Lightning football to be led by Coach Lilly from Brentwood Academy
In November, the James Lawson High School administration announced a search for the head football coach that will lead the new Lawson Lightning football program. Resumes flooded in from all over the country, and one candidate, Brian Lilly from Brentwood Academy, proved to be the perfect choice to lead the new Lawson Lightning football program.
Coach Brian Lilly has served at Brentwood Academy since 2014. He is Assistant Director of Athletics & Admission, Defensive Coordinator for the Eagles football program and a dedicated English teacher. Lilly received his undergraduate degree from Texas State University and his masters in Educational Leadership and Administration from Lamar University.
Lawson High School Athletic Director, Pete Froedden shared, “Coach Lilly brings a great deal of coaching experience and leadership on and off the field. He understands what it takes to grow this new program to an elite level. We could not be more excited about the energy Coach Lilly will infuse into Lawson Lightning football.”
James Lawson High School Executive Principal, Dr. Stephen Sheaffer, added, “After interviewing Coach Lilly, we landed in the rare, sweet spot with both sides extremely desirous to partner with the other. The future is truly bright for the Lightning football program.
Brentwood Academy Athletic Director, Cody White shared his thoughts about the hire, “Brian Lilly is going to be a dynamic and incredibly successful leader at Lawson High School. He is a wonderful father, husband, and role model. His impact on Brentwood Academy students has shown that he is a talented and gifted educator who will lead Lawson well. I am and will continue to be proud of how Brian makes a positive impact on the youth he leads as a teacher and coach.”
The Lawson High School Lightning football program will compete in Division I, Class 5A, Region 6 as part of the TSSAA.
The new James Lawson High School opens August of 2023 with a state-of-the-art 150-million-dollar picturesque campus set on 274 jaw-dropping acres in the community of Bellevue on western boarder of Davidson Country. The school’s glass front architecture pays great tribute to Bellevue, a French word meaning beautiful view. Perched atop the campus hill, the school overlooks the athletic fields complete with Lightning Stadium down in the valley. Campus 3D Video
