The Anthony Hays era, as head football coach at Branson came to an end after a 3-7 record in the 2021 season. Playing in one of the toughest conferences in the state, Hays’ Pirates found exceptional tough sledding.
Aaron Hefner took over the Pirates program and posted a 1-9 record during his freshman campaign.
Hays moved on and became the coach at Savannah High School. The Savages were 10-2 under Hays, falling to Maryville in the District Championship game. For his efforts, Anthony was named Coaching New Hire of the Year by Missouri Scoop.
