The Moore School Board will vote to approve or disapprove tonight of Scott Myers as the next head football coach for Moore High School, according to the meeting agenda.

 Myers has been the head coach at Woodward for the past three years. This year, he led the Boomers to their first playoff appearance in seven seasons. Before his tenure at Woodward, he was an assistant at Moore under Tom Noles from 2001-2004, coaching the secondary. He also served as an assistant at Plainview and Chickasha.

 Myers graduated from Chandler in 1985 after leading the Lions to a state title in football his senior season. He went on to graduate from East Central.

 Myers was chosen from approximately 25-30 applications and eight interview candidates, district athletic director Carl Franks said.

With the new Southmoore High School (and football program) set to open in the fall, Myers would step into a competitive position. He would replace Bill Bays, who resigned at the beginning of the spring semester and has accepted the head coaching position at Choctaw. Bays — who had an 11-20 record at Moore and one playoff appearance — cited the desire to coach in a district with just one school as a part of his reason for resigning.
