There will be new coordinators on each side of the football for the Red Ravens this fall, as Jeff Richards Jr. takes over leading the defense for CCC.

 

Richards comes to Coffeyville after time as the cornerbacks coach at Valdosta State University in 2023, and a Defensive Intern at the University of Texas in 2022. He says the fit with the Red Ravens made sense from the start.

 

The Red Ravens have quite a bit of experience on the defensive side of the ball this season, with a blend of returners, redshirts, and D1 and JUCO transfers. Richards says having guys with college reps is a nice advantage early on.

 

The Ravens open the season against a tough Cisco Wranglers team, that was among the best offenses in the Texas League last season, and returns starting quarterback Landon Vessel. Richards says he will put his players in position to make plays.

 

Coffeyville had the fourth-ranked defense in the KJCCC in points per game last season, and finished with the most interceptions and defensive touchdowns in the conference.
