Episode 66: Head football coach for the Hillsboro Eagles, Leeland Hamilton, continues our series on in-season practice scheduling.
About this episode
Leeland Hamilton discusses his new role as head coach of the Hillsboro Eagles and his approach to in-season practice scheduling.
New head football coach for Hillsboro ISD, Leeland Hamilton, is making his debut in the head coaching ranks to lead the Eagles program. Moving to a mostly new district this year, he is excited about the opportunities this town and school district have to offer and more importantly, for what he can bring to this community. Coming from a large 6A program at Katy Morton Ranch, he will have to make some adjustments to the smaller numbers as he will work to 2-platoon his athletes as much as he can. Having connections at the NFL, college and high school levels, Coach Hamilton will have all the resources he needs to pull from to get his new program where he wants it to be.
