In a departure from their past three hires, Haskell CISD announced on Friday that it was hiring Wellington offensive coordinator Creighton Henderson as its new head football coach and athletic director.

This marks Henderson’s first time to lead a program and he’s the first person to land their inaugural head coaching job in Haskell since Kent Colley in 2008.

Henderson, who will start after spring break, is excited for the opportunity and getting back to a familiar area after getting his college degree from Hardin-Simmons.
