LENOIR – Clay Lewis is leaving Hibriten High as head football coach to take the same position at Chesnee High in South Carolina, the Spartanburg (S.C.) Herald-Journal is reporting.
LEWIS
Lewis has been head coach at Hibriten since replacing retiring Chuck Cannon in 2010.
It’s unclear if and when Lewis resigned his position at Hibriten.
An e-mail inquiry on Monday from HobbsDailyReport.com asking Hibriten’s athletic department if the school had a resignation from Lewis said: “No we do NOT! And information would be released if we did!”
The Herald-Journal story (https://www.goupstate.com/sports/20190326/chesnee-finds-its-football-coach-in-clay-lewis) said Lewis was officially announced as Chesnee’s new head coach on Tuesday night. He replaces Bill Owens, who resigned after two seasons.
