Trey Schucker Leaves Arkadelphia to Take Over Sylvan Hills Football Program
After six seasons leading one of Arkansas’ premier high school football programs, Trey Schucker is stepping away from Arkadelphia to become the new head football coach at Sylvan Hills.
Schucker announced his decision on Thursday, bringing an end to a successful tenure with the Badgers that included multiple deep postseason runs and a strong connection with the Arkadelphia community.
In a statement, Schucker expressed gratitude for his time at Arkadelphia, calling it “an honor and a privilege” to lead the program and its student-athletes.
“The memories I have made here will never be forgotten, and Arkadelphia will forever be a special place,” Schucker said, also thanking the school district, administration, school board, Badger Foundation, parents and community for their support.
Schucker’s departure marks a significant transition for the Badgers, a program that has been among the state’s most consistent contenders during his time on the sidelines.
He said the decision to leave came after “much thought and prayer,” as he prepares to take over at Sylvan Hills, where he will look to build the Bears’ program moving forward.
Schucker and his family also extended well wishes to the Arkadelphia program, expressing confidence in its continued success.
“My family and I wish the Arkadelphia Badger football team and fans much success in the future,” he said.
Sylvan Hills gains a proven head coach with a track record of success, while Arkadelphia now begins the search for its next leader.
