With State Champion Coach at the Helm, Chickasha Football Poised for Turnaround Season in 2026

The Chickasha football team in Oklahoma have had a tough stretch the last few seasons.

Tough Stretch for the Fightin’ Chicks

The Fightin’ Chicks went 2-8 last year for their third straight losing season. Chickasha hasn’t had a winning season since the team compiled a 6-4 record in 2022.

Chickasha will now look to turn things around with a new coach for the upcoming 2026 season.

“He wins...Google him”

Steve Huff, the Fightin’ Chicks new head coach, has more than 30 years of coaching experience.

Huff was previously at Decatur High School in Texas for four seasons. He led the Eagles to a compiled 36-18 record, four consecutive playoff appearances and two OSSAA 4A-1 state semifinal bids.

The longtime coach also led College Station (TX) for eight seasons, the program’s first head coach when the school opened in 2012. Huff guided the Cougars to an 88-19 record, including the Class 5A-II state title in 2017.

“We are thrilled to welcome Coach Huff and his family to our school and community. Steve Huff's appointment as Chickasha Head Football Coach marks a new era for our team. With his impressive background and achievements, Coach Huff is poised to make a lasting impact. His winning philosophy is well-documented,” noted in the Chickasha Fightin' Chick Quarterback Club Facebook page.

Earlier in his career, Huff was a graduate assistant at the University of Kansas and the University of North Dakota. He also had coaching stops at Tecumseh, U.S. Grant and Midwest City – all in Oklahoma.

“He is a highly decorated Coach from both Oklahoma and Texas. He wins. Google him,” noted in the Chickasha Athletic and Activities Facebook page.
