Stone names former Poplarville DC Jacob Aycock as new head coach

WIGGINS, Miss. (WLOX) - A new head ball coach is stepping into the driver’s seat for the Stone High Tomcats, and he’s coming from just 30 minutes west.

On Thursday morning, the Stone County School Board approved Jacob Aycock to be next head coach for the Tomcats.

Aycock previously held jobs with Purvis, Greene County and, most recently, Poplarville, where he served as the team’s defensive coordinator and earned the 2021 Luther Kuykendall Assistant Coach of the Year.

Stone’s last head coach John Feaster left the team to take the same role at Moss Point.

Pearl River Central and Pass Christian still have coaching vacancies.
