Carlisle Promotes BJ Harrison to Head Football Coach
The Carlisle School District has promoted BJ Harrison to head football coach, elevating the Bison’s offensive coordinator to lead the program.
Harrison served as Carlisle’s offensive coordinator last season and brings a wealth of experience from stops across the state. Prior to arriving in Carlisle, he was part of Hazen’s coaching staff as offensive coordinator during the Hornets’ state championship run. A Hazen native, Harrison has also held coordinator roles at Maumelle, Sylvan Hills and Hazen.
District officials said Harrison’s familiarity with the program and proven track record as a coordinator make him a strong choice to lead the Bison moving forward. He is expected to build on the program’s foundation while providing leadership both on and off the field.
With experience at multiple successful programs, Harrison steps into the role with an emphasis on continuity and continued development for Carlisle football.
