Riverwood has promoted Michael Young to head while Dutchtown’s Clifford Fedd is returning to South Georgia to take the Sumter County job.
There now have been 42 coaching hires and 63 openings this offseason.
Young was Riverwood’s defensive coordinator last season, when the Raiders won Region 7-6A under Robert Edwards, who left to become coach at Washington County, his alma mater.
Young also has coached at Carrollton, Milton and his alma mater Collins Hill.
Fedd was Dutchtown’s coach for five seasons and compiled a 43-16 record. His 2018 and 2019 teams with current Alabama All-American Will Anderson reached the Class 5A quarterfinals. Fedd had been a long-time assistant coach at Brooks County before coming to Dutchtown.
Sumter County has won two games over the past two seasons.
