One Brevard County school has filled its open head coaching position, while another is going to be looking to replace the one that took the other position.
Call it small game of musical chairs if you wish.
Mark Ainsley who has been the head coach at Holy Trinity in Melbourne for the past three seasons is making a move just south to Palm Bay, where he will become the new head coach of Heritage High, The Florida Today reports.
Ainsley replaces Ajay Ulmer who stepped down after Heritage’s most successful season in just five years of overall existence as a school.
Holy Trinity was 22-8 under Ainsley, a team he took to the playoffs for the first time in many years this past season.
No word as of yet when Holy Trinity plans to fill the head coaching position.
