New Dothan High School head football coach Jed Kennedy believes the first phase for rebuilding the Wolves program is now in the books.
“We have been on the job seven months now and the kids have been awesome,” Kennedy said Friday during an interview at the 29th Annual Encore Rehab Coaches Day & Media Day event at Highland Oaks, exactly five weeks before the first games of the 2022 high school football season.

The program was still in Class 6A in that first season, but has moved up to 7A – the state’s highest classification – in 2020 and has struggled in its two years in the classification.
Eleven new coaches: Dothan’s Kennedy wasn’t the only new head coach in interviews Friday at Highland Oaks as 11 Wiregrass teams feature a new leader for 2022, including the area’s three biggest programs. “Here’s a kid who rushed for 1,000 yards and then he turned around and had over 100 tackles as a linebacker and he’s back,” Abbeville coach LaBrian Stewart said of Conley regarding two seasons ago. “We’ve moved him to safety, and he played safety at 7A ball.
“I have been coaching for almost 25 years now and I have never seen a kid his age get this type of attention,” Elba head coach Marc Sieving said of the offers. “He is certainly talented, but this is all unexpected. We didn’t realize it would be like this . Sieving said an explosion of offers for Henderson started after the end of the regular-season and has continued after measurements and video showcasing his “speed, his explosiveness and ability to change directions” was turned in by a recruiting consultant.Since last season, Henderson has visited or attended campus at Alabama, Auburn, Florida State, Georgia and Tennessee. He will visit USC later in the month.
