Tigers to rebuild under experienced coach

SMITHVILLE — Smithville Independent School District recently announced the hiring of Darby House as its new athletic director and head football coach.

House replaces former AD and head football coach Layne Neumann, who resigned in December. He brings an offensive background and record of turning programs around throughout his coaching career.

“Smithville has a proud tradition of excellence in academics and athletics, and I look forward to building on that foundation, developing strong student athletes, fostering a culture of discipline and teamwork, and competing at the highest level,” House said.
