Chancellor confirms retirement

By Millie Diaz
Huey Chancellor, Edna Athletic Director, has confirmed he will be finishing his spring contract until the end of June, and will retire from coaching.
He said he does not intend on moving anywhere though, because he and his wife, Dana, Edna golf head coach, are happy in Edna, and she will continue teaching and coaching at the high school.
“Edna has been good to us: the school, the board, and the community. I told the guys I’ve been hard on them and I’m hard on myself. This job is physically demanding and it takes a lot of my time. I coach at a high intensity and I feel like it’s time to slow it down.”
He hopes to find a position at the Edna Alternative School and work part-time.
“I’m ready to retire but I’m not ready to sit at home and do nothing, and I hope to be there, I think it’s right for me.”
He may or may not play a part in choosing his replacement, other than his knowledge of coaches in Edna and coaches from other areas.
Chancellor has coached for 33 years and is in his third year with Edna. Last year he led the Cowboy football team to the Area round, but lost to Goliad.
