Paragould hires Trumann's Randy Phillips as head football coach

By Kyle Sutherland
The Paragould School District announced Randy Phillips as the program's next head football coach on Tuesday night.
Phillips takes over the Rams after serving in the same position at Trumann since 2020 where he took the Wildcats to the 4A playoffs all three seasons. Phillips was the offensive coordinator at DeWitt for five seasons before he took over at Trumann.
Paragould went 1-9 in 2022, including 0-7 in 5A-East play under David Gunn, who resigned in January after one season.
