Welcome our new head football coach, Will Hester to the Falcon Family!
Coach Will Hester comes to Florence High School with 19 years’ experience coaching High School Football. Over the course of his career, Coach Hester has been a position coach, a defensive coordinator, an offensive coordinator as well as a head coach.
Most recently, Coach Hester was the Head Coach and Athletic Director for the newly formed Nolensville High School in Nolensville, Tennessee. In the school’s first year of varsity football, Coach Hester led the team to the second round of the Tennessee State playoffs – the first team in Tennessee history to accomplish this with ZERO seniors in the school.
Prior to his time at NHS, Coach Hester was the Head Coach at Ravenwood High School. During his tenure, he led the team from a previous 3 season record of 8-22 to 38-4 in his 3 years at the helm. Under his leadership, Ravenwood was 2014 Tennessee 6A State Championship Runner Up (losing by 1point in overtime) and the 2015 Tennessee 6A State Champion ending a Maryville High School’s 44 game win streak.
Coach Hester is relocating to Florence with his wife Wendi, and their two children Gigi (15) and Riggs (11)
