Way to go, Josh
Congratulations to former Union Cyclone Josh Smith. Due to a mid-season change, he is the new interim girls basketball coach at DeSoto Central High School, which I believe is a 6A school in Mississippi.
This time last summer, he didn't have a job. Now, he has a golden opportunity.
He got the job on Tuesday and a few hours and no practice time later, he matched up against the No. 2 team in the state.
"They took it easy on us," he said in a text. "We only got beat 24."
As far as career moves, he's hoping to get back closer to Hot Springs.
But, he said, "how do you turn down a 6A coaching job if it gets offered?"
Quick reply from me, "You don't."
Hopefully, DeSoto Central will be patient and let Josh figure it out. Life is funny. You never know which road will lead you where. Some coaches spend their whole careers searching for that dream job. Wouldn't it be funny if Josh stumbled upon his right out the chute?
