White Hall Names Jason Mitchell Head Football Coach

The White Hall School District has named a familiar face to lead its football program.

Jason Mitchell has been selected as the next head football coach of the Bulldogs following approval by the school board Tuesday night.

Mitchell previously served as interim head coach after the death of former head coach Ryan Mallett. During that time, he led White Hall to a 4-6 overall record, including a 3-5 mark in the 5A Central Conference.

After that season, the district hired Daryl Patton as the full-time head coach. Patton later resigned earlier this year to take an assistant coaching position at Pulaski Academy, reopening the position.

Mitchell, who has strong support within the White Hall community, now takes over the program on a permanent basis.

He joined the Bulldogs’ coaching staff after coming from Pine Bluff as part of Bobby Bolding’s staff, which oversaw one of the most successful periods in program history.

Mitchell will now be tasked with building on that foundation as he takes over the Bulldogs program full time.
