Pleasant Home principal Craig Nichols said the search for a new football coach at the school has “narrowed.”

“The field is narrow, but I still don’t have one,” Nichols said Tuesday night. “There is going to be one in May.”

Nichols was talking about the May 6 Covington County Board of Education meeting, where the new coach’s hire should be approved.

Nichols said he’s received between 30-40 applications, and five have been called back for second interviews.
