Shelbyville, KY – Shelby County High School (SCHS) announces that Coach Josh Jaggers is resigning due to health reasons as head coach of the SCHS Football Team. The school is grateful for Coach Jaggers' dedication and contributions to the program. “I want to thank Coach Jaggers for his time, talent, and dedication to the SCHS Football program and our students,” said Dr. Josh Matthews, Superintendent. “He is an excellent coach and a great person.”
In light of this transition, Mr. George Eskridge will step in as the interim head coach. Eskridge, who brings a wealth of experience to the role, has coached at multiple levels including high school, collegiate, and professional (Campbellsville University and Louisville Fire Arena Football, AF2).
Before his tenure at Campbellsville, Eskridge spent four successful years with the Louisville Fire, an Arena Football AF2 team, where he served as Special Teams Coordinator and coached Fullbacks and Linebackers. Under his leadership, the Fire achieved a record of 41-30 and made three postseason appearances, culminating in the 2005 American Conference championship and a spot in the Arena Cup.
Eskridge's coaching accolades continued at Campbellsville, where he played a key role in securing two Mid-South Conference West Division titles. He was also active in the track and field program, where he helped coach multiple champions and All-Americans.
A graduate of the University of Louisville, Eskridge's coaching journey includes 12 years of experience as a high school assistant coach at Louisville Eastern High School and North Hardin High School.
"We are excited to have Coach Eskridge step in during this transition," said SCHS Principal Dr. Carla Kent. "His extensive coaching background and proven track record will be invaluable to the students on the team as we move forward. We want our SCHS Football program to continue to grow."
We look forward to welcoming Coach Eskridge's leadership and we are eager to support the team as they continue to build on the program at Shelby County High School.
