The Lakeway Christian Academy football program underwent a coaching change Wednesday despite never having played a varsity game in its program history.
The school announced Jermel Jones as its second head football coach, as he will replace Bruce Fowler.

Fowler, the former head football coach at Furman from 2011-16, accepted the job as Lakeway’s first athletics director and football coach in Spring 2018. According to a school press release Wednesday, Fowler notified LCA administration that he would be retiring from his full-time position and the end of the school year — though he will still stay involved in an advisory role.
Jones comes to East Tennessee after winning a state championship with The Master’s Academy in Orlando, Fla.
