# 8 on the countdown this year are the new coaches in the area. None of the changes garnered more attention than the arrival of Anthony Hays to take over the Branson Football Program. And, no sport saw more of a shakeup than did volleyball, nearly every school had a change there. It was also nice to welcome a very familiar face to the coaching reins, as Chris Larson started the golf program at College of the Ozarks.
